Today was nuts. Legitimately. At first it started off great. We went on the bamboo train (A.K.A boom boom train according to Theara:)) And then back to the hotel before we took tuk-tuks though the city. We did the tuk-tuk thing and it was a ton of fun. But it wasn't until two and a half hours later that we realized someone was missing. My roommate and I forgot to get her before we left for the day. So we felt beyond awful. She was so upset when we got back and I felt like throwing up. We all talked, prayed, and cried a lot. It was really rough. But being honest about everything and all our feelings made it easier--not perfect but easier. Then we went to the small house near RH and prayed in a circle for the new mother and baby there. While we were praying, another girl on the team fainted. It was really scary because she didn't wake up for a long time. I almost thought she was dead. Something just happened but we didn't know what caused it. It felt like we had been spiritually attacked on all sides.
Later tonight, after Malia and I talked, we led the group during debriefing time about admitting our struggles. We did this in small groups and it was really good because it was like the devil couldn't trick us any more about being the only one that felt left out, alone, or afraid. It was an encouraging night to a crazy day.
