Bowling at the Beach!!

All the guys after bowling at Sonic, just before shooting ice at girls commenced!

3 Western guys and 2 Western girls.

I was imparting all my bowling knowledge to them.

Fun in the sun, well kinda!

Myrtle Beach! Ah, the beautiful white sands, crystal clear waters and endless attractions, what else could one ask for. Well all of those actually because "Fertile Myrtle" (as the locals call it) is nothing like that except for the one million beach bargain stores along the grand strand. It has been great being here, nothing like a vacation but fun. I have been in charge of jobs and everyone has a job but there are some complications with the hours some girls are receiving. It is so hot here right now with a heat index of 115. It feels much nicer indoors. God has begun doing what he does best here, show off, and it has been incredible to see his work. Not only are people becoming Christians on the beach but we have seen 3 students who are on project realize they were not Christians and become believers while here. One other became a Christian about a week before coming to project. Students are growing in their understanding of who Christ is and what it looks like to follow Him in life. As for me, God has been showing me more of my sin and more grace to forgive me. I came into project very tired and dry spiritually but through the men here on project, His word, and your prayers and encouragement, I have been praying that he would lift up my head so that I would see Him (Psalms 3:3), and He has. Below are a few pictures of some fun things that have happened this summer!

We took the team leader girls on a group date and went crabbing. I had a piece of string with a chiken leg tied on the end. It's like sugar for crabs.

We had a project social and the entire project went to play putt-putt, our theme was family reunion. Lets just say I was dad!?!
