Hello from Hamilton, Bermuda!

Hey Everyone!!!

I am so thrilled to let you know that we arrived safely in Bermuda about a week ago. We have one more week left here in this beautiful country. I am so excited also......to let y'all know that I did not get seasick during this 4 day voyage!!! Praise the Lord!

After we arrived in Hamilton, I had the rest of the day off, so 2 of my roomies and I went out to explore! This us Juki from Germany and Emily from Michigan! They are awesome! (And so is Rorie from France, even though she wasn't in this picture!!)
This port has been fairly quiet so far, with some nice opportunities to really relax and have some great conversations without feeling rushed!

I had the awesome privilege to worship with Cornerstone Bible Fellowship this past Sunday. It was such a "God-thing"!!! Honestly, this past Saturday night was a little difficult for me, I was just really missing home, and things/people/anything really that was familiar to me. I signed up to attend church this Sunday, and was questioning whether I really wanted to go or not. I decided that it would be a good experience for me, so I went! Boy am I glad I did! It was such a blessing to worship with them. Their Choir sang, "My Help" by Brooklyn Tab Choir. That is definitely what I needed to hear Sunday. I am so thankful for the way God used the song service especially to really help me get my focus back to where it should be.

Today was my E-day, so this morning, I went to the Staff Devotions at Cornerstone. It was a blessing to be able to be apart of that this morning, and just see first hand the heartbeat of the church. After devotions, we went to a little cafe across the street from the church and had breakfast/lunch! :) After we came back to the ship, we were on Deck 4 from 12-3, connecting with visitors. Honestly, today, there were not many visitors at all. I was able to chat with a few people, but not many.

This evening, I had the awesome opportunity to go out and explore the island a little with a local volunteer. Veronica and her husband have lived here in Bermuda for a little over a year. She is taking time these two weeks to volunteer in the book fair. It has been such a blessing to get to know her. Tonight, we went to Horseshoe Bay Beach. It was So beautiful.
