I woke up to a rooster crowing in the early morning. We got up at approximately 7:15 to go to doctor G. and coach G. and the  cabin for a delicious breakfast. Casey and Jeff were very kind in supplying all of us with food In our cabin to serve in the morning to all the other cabins so...

The day started off the same again but breakfast was at tamarind cabin this morning. My friend Miles and Wyatt, who are rising juniors, came in clutch by changing breakfast up a bit.

Breakfast was the same thing as yesterday but my cabin prepared it this morning so that was pretty cool because we got to lead in prayer. After prayer we started to eat but not before...
