So while I was a dores in Puerto Rico for July, I kept a journal every day. I came home and it was eaten by my car. Luckily, I was able to find it in the abyss my car threw up. So while I was sitting for a 3 hour layover in GA (and waiting for my alabama girls to come say hello!) I wrote a list of things I learned. And since I've found my notebook, I'll share for funsies.
-Bugspray! Bugspray! Bugspray!
-OFF is false advertising.
-Carry anti-itch gel with you everywhere.
-You can still be late on Puerto Rican time.
-Everyone makes mistakes.
-Everyone has on a mask. Look behind it.
-Puerto Ricans are 98% of the time more fun than most Americans (excluding the cool gringos who spend their summers at Campa, duh)
-God is always talking. Are we listening?
-Be childlike in faith...and energy.
-Cold showers are glorious.
-Gnats (prounounced: guh-nats) and mosquitoes are sent from Hell.
-Fanny packs are entirely legit.
-Grace NEVER runs dry.
-Dishes and dancing go together.
-Never mock the "cool" guy's walk. Theresa will make you show him how he walks.
-The appropriate response to "Buen Provecho" is "Gracias" in a high-pitched screechy voice.
-Ingrid Michaelson is universally loved.
-Not all girls are stupid.
-Being yourself is more than enough.
-Not everyone acts out of selfish purposes.
-People love you.
-Skype is vital.
-Wear watershoes on mud night and run away from boys with agression.
-Never get seconds on rice and beans, there will be more the next meal.
-God is always there.
-When your roommates start a prank war with one of your FEW HEALTHY OGFs move to the other cabin laugh at them endlesslesly.
-Love. I learned about loving for others and how others genuinely love and have a passion for Christ, and love me.
-"I do not want my image of God, I want God." - C. S. Lewis
-NEVER EVER EVER volunteer to clean someone else's living space. Especically if it has been occupied by males.
-The opposite of love is fear, and we often tend to live through fear instead of love.
