Hello?

Hello everyone! I'm sorry this is so late since my last post but things have been so crazy. We arrived in Phuket, Thailand on January 29th and we went straight to the boat station to catch our boat at 8:30am. We went to Railay beach which there is no road access to so we had to go by boat! We ended up staying at Ton Sai which is just around the corner because Railay had no rooms available. It was so great to be on the ocean with sand, and palm trees. Our hostel was in the jungle which was cool because I could be sitting on our porch and look up and see monkeys playing in a tree. We did ministry there mainly to rock climbers. It was great although really hot and humid! Then we moved to Koh Phi Phi for debrief week which is where we reflect on how outreach was and how to cope with going back to a western world. 
At Koh Phi Phi we went snorkeling which was so much fun although we didn't see any sharks... We had a really nice relaxing time of reflecting and thinking about our futures. One of the days was amazing because we went scuba diving! It was so awesome! I loved it, we were taught how to use everything and we swam with the most amazing fish I have ever seen! It was like watching the discovery channel only I was there and I could pretty much touch it. We swam with a leopard shark, don't worry they don't have any teeth so the're not too dangerous. I just had the most amazing time, it was nice being in the water for a day because I can't even describe how hot it was! I am ridiculously tan, with so many tan lines that I don't know what to do with myself. Outreach was really an experience that makes me look and see the world differently. 
I am currently in New Zealand we landed 2 days ago it is so great to be back here! The weather is amazing it's their summer also. We are here for a week then I am traveling until March 30th. I hope everyone is good and I thank you all for praying for me! God bless you all!
