So we had to learn the basic stuff before we actually got into the water, like the rowing terms, how to row, such as that. Then we lift out rafts into the water, climb in and off we go! It started off really slow, and as we went a long got a little rougher. Before it got to rough though, we had to have a worse case scenario practice. We all had to go to one side of the raft and flip over, then our guide dude had to flip back over the raft, and we all had to get back in. I had to pull one girl back in. We got stuck on SO many rocks, it was ridiculous. But it was all so fun! I was super nervous about it, just cause I kept thinking I would fall in... and plunge to my death... in the freezing, ice cold water... ahem. Sorry. But anyway, I was nervous. But once in the water, I had a blast! We got to stop at one rock, and we all jumped off it into the water, or used one of the rafts as a slide, and slid into the water. The water was sooo cold, but it was fun. Later on down the river we stopped at this really cool water fall typish thing. I was really wishing I could of had a camera.
The ride ended at after 4 hours. We head back to our campsite and go to Tarviso Italy! (pictures in below post) we have some amazing pizza, walk around, and have some amazing gelato! Best stuff EVER. So anywho. We go back that evening, have devos and all that jazz and go to sleep.
Next day its time for hiking...! I'm not hugely fond of hiking, I don't mind it, but I don't love it. It was really cool this time though, just cause there was so much to look at.
We got to go and see this amazing waterfall!
Here are a couple of team estrogen!
After hiking we just hang out in Bovecs, and have more gelato and such. I get this pastry thing, it was pretty good... had no idea what was in it. But I don't guess it killed me :P
After that we went to Narnia!!
Off over there to the right is where the camp was set up in the bridge scene from, Prince Caspian. It was so cool to go too, I brought back a rock from there :] hehe.
And that night we had a baptism! I myself was re baptized, and about 8 or so more people were baptized too. In the FREEZING ICE cold river that was by our campsite, this water was seriously like painfully cold. You can go to my picasa web album to see those pictures...
The next day is whenever they took us all out individually for 3 hours to spend time with the Lord. I struggled some then. Like I got so cold, and I couldn't focus, and I just kept getting so frustrated. But after awhile the Lord helped me through it, and it was good :) So after that we had an amazing breakfast of pancakes, eggs, bacon and such. Packed up, and headed to Celje. Once there we go to the Calvary Chapel, meet the pastor Justin, and then we get to go to this castle! like a for real castle, I guess it might be considered more of a fortress maybe... but they called it a castle, it was from like the 1400's. I was SO stoked to go see it, like you have no idea. I didn't get to explore it as much as I would have liked... but its ok. Maybe I'll get to go back one day :P It was pretty awesome, and it had this amazing view too :D
We crashed in the church, and the next we went to a old folks home, and did some worship, a drama, and a couple of people shared a testimony. That was super neat. We walked around Celje after that, had even MORE gelato, the best kind yet. And then went back to the church and did yard work and such.
The neext day we had church, did our little drama. And then some of us helped out with the kids. Then, we came back to the castle. And here we've been ever since! :P
We all tried to recover from it Monday, I think we were all pretty tired. That afternoon we had to wash the cars we took, and such. Yesterday we did the usual stuff, besides for we had to learn some songs in Hungarian that we're going to be singing on Friday at the mental hospital. We also had to practice a drama we are doing for the talent show, Friday night. There are like 10 of us doing it, I am super excited. Its the, Everything skit, with the song by Lifehouse. You can go to www.godtube.com and search, Everything skit and you'll be able to watch it. I will also try to get someone to video us doing it and then put it up.
So yes, that is that. Sorry I didn't blog sooner. The internet here has been having complications, and will quit working for hours on end. Its really annoying whenever your right in the middle of talking to someone. Urg.
Oh and here are some pictures of the river that was by the campsite
And these were taken on the way to Celje, in Italy at a lake.
At the castle in Celje!
Now that I have bombarded you all with so many pictures, I will go now.
