Part III: Sight-seeing and Fun

Sorry this comes so late. I have been messing around on my other blog, hiddenandseeking.blogspot.com. Hidden&Seeking is a light and random blog about myself and my frustrations, fun times, and life in general. Check it out if ya wanna :)

BUT this blog is about the big changes. Like a missions trip to NYC. Speaking of which...
We had so many activities mixed in with all of our serving opportunities. We went to the beach and stepped in the ocean, had a fun experience at Coney Island, went to the top of the Empire State building, ran around the streets of NY (and when I say ran, I mean it in the literal sense!), stood and stared in the middle of Times Square, and had some amazingly fun meal times! I didn't get pictures of everything we did, but here are some pictures I did get (or borrowed from other SMITErs  :):

At the beach in the evening (from like 9 to 11ish?)

Coney Island :)

Holding the guy's stuff while they go for a swim... in the disgusting water lol :)



One of our SMITErs actually made close to $4 while playing and singing his mini-guitar :P

Empire State Building!






View from our first Ferry trip. NYC bright at night :)



Me in the middle of Time's Square. I got lotz of other pics here, but they aren't on my computer yet...

My favorite meal time of the whole trip~ @ Carmines






The SMITE team eating on the way down. What a happy bunch :)

These pictures don't give the trip and the memories justice. But they do give a tiny glimpse into what those days of the trip held. I don't think that I have ever laughed so hard so much, cried so easily, learned so much, taught so much, reached outside my comfort zone so far, dug so deep into myself, or felt so at one with the work of God as I did those two weeks. One of the best weeks of my life. God is so good!!!
