Lava, lava, lava...
Lava, lava, lava....say that as fast as you can and as many times as you can...its fun! I got to see the lava on Saturday but only from a distance. A group of teammates and I went and we didn't get as close as we wanted, we were late in getting to the spot and they closed on us so we took a walking scenic route that can be a bit dangerous at night. So we only went so far because it also started to rain. It wasn't our ideal trip but we got to hear the roar of the surf crashing against the wall of old lava. The sound was pretty load and powerful.
Local Outreach
So this last week we did what is called local outreach. This is where we as an outreach team get to go around and meet the people of Hawaii and hear their stories. We get to ask to take their pictures and we also get to do an exhibition Saturday the 20th of June. Hopefully we get to choose a picture we like the best and exhibit it down town Kona. We get to share all the stories of the folks we met. I met, along with my friend Sarah, a wonderful Lady named DeLoise. She was so much fun to talk to. Such a people person and just shared about her life and travels. She even gave me and my friend Sarah a bag of macadamia nuts.
Also during the week we did a photo scavenger hunt, where we had a list of things to photograph. For example; a green truck, so we found a man in a big ole interstate green truck and took his picture. It was so much fun, I love scavenger hunts!!!!! It was a good week but by the end I was ready for a nap or two, also I got to hang out with my team and it was a week of getting to know one another, because we will be with each other for the next three months!!!!! Love, love, unity and a lot of grace:) P.S. The picture is of me and my team leader, Layne.
