Bonjour,
Crofton had its highlight for the year. On Saturday we got to witness the Olympic torch run through little Crofton. Six of us went into town early to help set up. We set up tables, blew up tons of balloons and sucked in helium. At 4:22 we all lined the streets to see the runner come off the ferry. It was quite exciting and fun to watch.
On Monday we went surfing! It was crazy!! I didn't think it was going to be too hard, but I was wrong. It was hard just walking down the beach with my board! The wind was so hard that it would blow my board up against me and I would be standing there, struggling against the wind. Once I finally got to our spot I was already worn out but I went out into the water. I walked and walked, trying to get out into the "deeper" part of the water. As I got out there I laid on my board just so I could get the feel of going over the waves, before I stood up. I got such an adrenaline rush as I flew over the waves. The wind was too strong for me to stand up. But just laying on top of the board going over the waves was exciting. But though it was exciting it was scary. Being pushed under the the water, spinning around and around trying to find the top was not exciting. I was in the danger zone quickly entering the trauma zone. Some of us ended up just playing in the huge waves. The rest of the trip in Tofino was great. God really worked in a lot of the kids then. On each trip I feel as though we become a closer community.
This week we have reading break. Nothing planned but doing school work. Which is wonderful! Please pray that people are safe as they travel and that we will be able to get all our school done.
