Wednesday: Water Day!

Hey everyone, it's Emily and Catherine!

Yesterday, Wednesday, we woke up to more rain. We had lesson study and wrote letters to our donors. Around 11 we left for the water park here in Iowa, the "Lost Island". We had Sonic for lunch, and for many people it was their first time there. Then we went to the water park, which was in a different city, so it was sunny and perfect weather. Our group divided into smaller groups and ran off to go to all the slides and rides. We were having so much fun, we decided to push dinner back so that we could have more time at the park. So much fun in fact, that we didn't take any pictures (Sorry!).

After a full day at the park, we all were starving. We left to make our reservations at Olive Garden where we enjoyed our last dinner together. Back at the church we had ice cream and a farewell party. We shared highlights and gratitude, and we did a candle activity. Each person picked a name of someone else out of a basket and shared a great quality of that person. We had some packing time and watched a movie, getting us to bed around 2 a.m.

Overall we had a great last day together and we are really sad to leave Iowa :(
