amazingness

So last week i finished school... and that was really nice to be done... i really loved it because it helped me learn and refresh with more spanish... but i am so ready to be able to sleep in again :)!! Right now i am at Gerald Griffins house because maite's sister and her boyfriend are spending the week here. but tomorrow i will be going to ane's house!! so that willbe really nice! But even thought i have been at geralds that has not stopped me from going and hanging out with maite ane her friends at the beach!!! on saturday i walked to the beach well the beach where maite stays... and from Geralds.. its about at 34..40 minute fast paced walk... but absolutly beautiful i must say!!! in ways i walked to the beach and hung out there for a little bit with them... then we all left and i needed to get myself some food because the griffins were actully camping in France so it was me at their house by myself! so after going shopping we went to maites house... she got ready and we went to another dinner at her friend patri's house!! it was a Italian theme dinner!! and it was actually really nice because when i was at the beach the asked me if i was comming and i said i don't know... and they told me that i had to and that i had no choice;.. well i wasn't gunna go agains that :) so we got to Patri's and the girls cooked the food... amazing i must say... i am quite impressed!! so anyways we were sitting aroung the table... and the topic of prayer came up... one girl was explaining to me how her family prays before every meal... but then another girl... said it's a lot different with christians though... when they pray its a lot more personal... and then all of the suddent he girls asked for me to pray for the meal! holy COW... i was shocked and totally blessed!! i prayed... in English because they asked me to!! At that moment i definatly knew that you guys were praying and i felt extremely blessed!!! my whole way home that night i was listening to worship music... skipping and stopping everyonce in a while just to look out on the beach and how beautiful it is!!! i was definaly excited to call my family!!

and so next day... i went to go eat lunch at maite's house and that was really fun... it was crazy because i was with the whole family... mom, dad, sister, maite and sisters boyfriend!! but it was fun!! then we watched a movie... and then i went with maite to the beach... i said hello to her friends... then i took off... cuz i was really tired and kind of needed to relax!! so at about 11:00 AT NIGHT the power went out... and it was just in my house so i figured it was a short circuit ... but when i finally found the power box thing... alll the switches were up...so i didn't know what to do... and i couldn't call Gerald from my cell phone... so i ran to maite's!! it was long... but it was a nice jog... i got there at like 12:15 and maite's mom answere and was like jackie whats up!! why are you here so late... and so i told them what happended and i tried to get a hold of Gerald but he wasn't answereing his phone (probably sleeping)!! so them made me spend the night there... which turned out to be really cool,... i slept on the floor in maite's bedroom... and i asked i=her i could read here bible because i didn't have mine and she was like yea of course... then we talked for a while about the praying and then just about things that her friends were going through... and about God... it was a really nice time together... then i was reading the bible... then i started to pray... but it looked like i was trying to sleep and then maite was like arn't you gunna go under the covers... and i was like actually im just praying right now... and she was like oh sorry... it was no problem ofcourse... but then she was like pray for me... so then i started to pray out loud and just thanked God for her and for her family... i didn't know if she could here me... so well if you know me... its pretty typical... and so i just made a joke with God to see if she would laugh and sure enough she did!! so that made me feel good!! i was glad the power went out cuz i got to spend some more time with Maite!! the next morning i called Gerald and figured out how to turn the power back on... so aita drove me back and then i went back to sleep cuz i was tired... i watched some tv... then i cleaned the house for the family and then they came back... and now... i am here... don' you love the and then and then storied ;)!!!! Thank you all so much for your prayers... and tomorrow i am going to the island all day with maite's kuadrilla... so just pray for that!!! love you all!! and i am loving it here... maite's friends are great... and so is this country... so beautiful!!! but i miss home too :)
