Our team has successfully travelled through the pouring rain
to make it to beautiful Topsail, North Carolina! We stopped for lunch right
over the Virginia-North Carolina border for some sandwiches and much needed leg-room.
Parts of the way we could barely see through the rain, but Shannon, Anna W.,
and Boots did an amazing job getting us all here safely!
We cooked pizza for dinner (shout out to ILS for providing
the pizza crust and sauce) and had a really great time eating together and getting
to know each other better. Also, we had a wonderful, belated surprise for
Shannon’s birthday; the singing was beautiful and the baby cupcakes were
delicious.
The sun began shining just in time for our participants to
walk down to the beach.
We had a fun reflection tonight involving setting ground
rules, reviewing the schedule for the week, and sharing stories of our lives
and writing down our first impressions of each other.
Everyone is super excited to get to work with the sea
turtles starting at 8 am tomorrow morning! It makes us so happy to hear our
participants laughing and getting to know each other already. Life and The
Princess Diaries have already begun as well.
We are all settling in well and are so excited for a week of
service learning!
