This weekend was really fun. There were 8 of us that went to some beach 20 miles south from here (can't remember the name even though I asked a million times). It was really fun. We attempted to go Spear Fishing, but only two people caught anything. There were lots of really small fish but nothing big enough to eat. When I first started, I saw quite a few fish between 8 and 12 inches, but I didn't know how to aim the spear, and by the time I about had it down, I couldn't find any fish. So I was tired and exhausted that I decided to take a break, and after I said I was done for the day, someone pointed out that the dolphins were out(no wonder there were no fish). So I put my fins back on and swam out to where they were, and then they were just a little bit further out, so I swam further...And the same happened until I saw them swimming 30 feet beneath me! An I could see the sea floor 30 feet beneath them! I turned and looked, and I could have easily fit 3 football fields in between me and the shore, so I kinda panicked and swam back to shore, but it was really cool to see the dolphins.
Yesterday, I was really tired and took a nap and woke up with a mild heat stroke...so keep praying about my adapting to the heat. Also please comment or email me if you're praying about locations and God tells you anything about any of the trips. It would be a blessing to me ane everyone here. Your prayers have been keeping me safe even when I'm not thinking about what I'm doing...so mahalo!

Happy Birthday to you!

hi joel!
How cool to swim with the dolphins and even more cool that they were in the wild. I saw dolphins at the major hotel while I was there (I think it was the Hilton or the Marriot) I don't remember but so cool that you can swim. That is crazy that you were so far out. Sounds like fun!!! Well, I will keep praying for you and your outreach decisions. I know that God will give you direction.
later brotha!
Happy BD to you!!!!!!!!!!! Our prayers are still with you daily. Hope you got your Birthday Card today. Happy 24 th May it be a wonderful year and full of God's Blessings and Guidance. We Love you.
Joel,
Please just don't swim with the sharks. I would like ALL of you to make it back home!
Love,
Brooke
