Our Trip In Torrance

So, i have been on a trip for the past 4 days. My family and the summer team came to torrance. The same church we went to last summer. We have done a total of 4 services. We had such a good time, we have done dramas and testimonies and messages and everything else. We all stayed at the Abreu's house. I know all of us inside one average sized house. Guys were down stairs, girls upstairs...my family in the guest room...christa and hunter in karis's room, and 2 girls in karly's room. Well, anyways, we had alot of prep when you put all of the prep times together. It was so cool though, because when we stay at karla's house we are always eating.lol. We would go to service and it would end around 9 i think and we would get home and have a huge feast.lol. On friday, we all wento to the beach after prep time. We had alot of fun. I was a little disappointed that we didnt get to walk around with everybody but we got to do something really cool with joseph and danielle. They took me and my sisters to this little shop, and we each got to pick out our own oyster and watch the lady take out a pearl. of course thats what the cost was for...we each got a genuine pearl. Emilee went first and got a pretty white pearl, that was size 6. Then i went to pick mine out...and we are watching the lady cut it open and stuff and THERE WAS TWO! i had 2, 5 1/2 sized white pearls inside my oyster. Then it was alyssa's turn...she picked hers out and guess what? she got a black pearl! actually it looks more blue but they call it a black pearl. huh, i dont know why.lol. anyways, my dad bought my mom one too, and she got a black pearl as well. We each got them made or put into jewelry. Emilee, Alyssa, and my mom got them made put into necklaces and beacause i had two, i got them made into earrings! They are sooooo pretty. Anyways, we all got to walk around a little more and then we went back to the house. Today we had our last service, and it went soo well. We performed worth i all, adn run the race this morning.(that drama is soooo cheesy.lol.) We all had hot dogs and chips after service and then we all went our seprate ways. Hunter and Christa's car went back to redondo beach...Jessica's car went back home...and my family is staying one more night in san buena ventura, ina hotel here. It's pretty nice. We went swimming in the hotel pool today and the water is so warm.(Heated pool. Amen to that.lol.) And now i have gotten my shower...feel so much better and am sitting here writing this blog post. All in all, besides all of the prep, and draining, and exhaustion...i think we have left with more strength than when we first came. I ♥ Torrance!!
