it's simple.

Many things go through my brain each and every second of every day. it rarely stops, except when I put it in check. Christ is number 1. and i don't have a # 2 yet. I just keep it loose and keep it simple. He's number 1.

Lindsay's Updates with the 'Groms. ' aka dance class updates

the definition of a grom: origin, surf lingo. meaning: brilliant surfers who are 16 or younger.

yeah, i call them groms here, but not to their faces, because they already know they ROCK. haha.

class had a different flow tonight. the comunication here in costa can be delayed, so... the older people were supposed to come at 5:30 and the younger at 6:30. everyone showed up at 6. so... we did it tico style. everyone all together, young and old. we did conditioning. it was a blast of fun, for me! haha, hope everyone else is able to walk in the morning. lizzy, i could use your help!! :)

Praises

michelle arrived safely, she's so sweet. we are all amigas. today i got to share with her a little bit of my story. it was a really tender moment shared between us. His way is perfect, and she's a gem, that's all i can say.

drew, a guy staying here also, taught me a little music theory. he played 'happy birthday' for kattia's birthday tomorrow.

Charlene's Corner

other than she's a party animal, haha j/k, her and michelle are making me dinner as I type. I have great friends! Her sunburn and exhaustion have passed, now the peeling process has begun. (and fyi zoila for the record, i have yet to be burned, and the truth is, i only wore sunblock ONCE the whole time ive been here!) anyways, back to charlene, she's acclimating well to the natural a/c system we have here. ie open windows. Her Pocahantas alter ego is alive and thriving with all of the interestingly colored and shaped bugs here. she's become quite to expert! :)

I am so glad to have friends around me here. it's so special to have people with me to share this experience. ::sigh:: you're loved.

by Him.

and me.

and probably a few other! :)

may GOD bless.
