"So, in Scotland during the summer, the sun rises . . . at 4
am. Caden would know; he rose with it. Lucky for me, my room wasn’t facing the
sun.
First thing, we all went to Musselburgh Baptist Church for a car wash to raise funds for their student and children's outreach and we became masters of the sponge.
For the rest of the day we were on the
beach for a barbeque involving absolutely no barbeque sauce. Some of us
embarked on adventures through the trees and over the rocks; most of us got a
nice windburn; and all of us enjoyed the beautiful landscape. We also
introduced some of our Scottish hosts to the game Signs and learned that when
you do a peace sign it MUST be palm out.
Always.
We are wrapping it up
hanging out together in one of the host homes for pizza, watching the Premiere
Football game. (I like not calling it soccer.)" –Emmy Larison
and from Allie's point of view:
"This
morning, after waking up and eating a quick breakfast, we all headed out to the
Musselburgh Baptist Church. We learned how to use the churches power tools to
wash cars and, despite the chilly weather, we all had a ton of fun. We spent a
good amount of time being fascinated by the fact that the drivers side is on
the right and the cars drive on the left side of the road.
After the car wash,
we stopped back at our host homes to change and freshen up, then we piled back
into cars and headed down to the beach. Me, Emmy, Ariana, and a few new
friends, Zanna, Becca, and Adele, ventured out into the water, hopping over
rocks and stones so we could take pictures. After being a little too consumed
with selfies and pictures of the lighthouse, we realized the tide snuck up on
us and we had to wade back through the water to the shore. We spent the rest of
the afternoon eating delicious hamburgers and hotdogs and playing volleyball
and football (soccer) and learning how to fly giant kites. Now, were wrapping up the day by thanking God
for this wonderful opportunity and enjoying some pizza and sports." –Allie Schillero
