So that was Sunday. The rest of the afternoon I spent sleeping and then with my D-group guys. The group time has been great and we have definitely been seeing our sin coming out. Thank you for your prayers, God has been answering them. We went to this awesome BBQ place for dinner in Brownsville (30 min south of Harlingen) called Rudy's. Its a sweet little place with its adjoining gas station. I'll get pictures up when I get back to the compound. The food was incredibly delicious. The best BBQ I've had. We ate 2lbs of beef brisket and a couple sausages between the 4 of us. This, incidentally, leads great into my wonderful news in the next post.

Monday was our day off. I intended to spend the day relaxing, reading, and being refreshed for the upcoming week, but I got convinced to go to the beach. Ezra, Dana, Michelle, and myself headed for South Padre for a day of fun in the sun. Its a beautiful area and set up much like a resort town - probably because it is a resort town. It wasn't too crowded on the beach which was great and the weather couldn't have been better (90's and sunny with a great breeze). The water was so warm too. Because of the sandbars, Ezra and Dana were able to walk out about 100 feet and still touch bottom. I didn't go out that far mainly because I didn't want to get eaten by a shark, so I stayed with the kiddies and pick seashells by the seashore. We stayed on the beach for about 3-4hours and then headed back to the compound for Sunday dinner. I used 30spf sunblock on my body and 45spf on my face, but somehow still managed to get a nice healthy shade of bright red. I know what your thinking, I didn't re-apply, but your so wrong, I totally did and even waited the 3omins for it to dry. But oh well, I've already resolved that I'll have skin cancer when I'm old.

Hope you all are well. Glad I got some time to update. Keep praying for the clinic days and time in Tx.
