Day 15-17 🎢

Why did i put the roller coaster emoji? You might be asking yourself well thats how my trip to cay caulker felt! 1st day we got there i was amazed at the beauty of this island!! Water so clear you didn’t have to worry what was under you, You could see exactly what was under you! And as soon as we got off the boat a witness couple preaching with the cart was there and as soon as we were walking towards them, there smile changed from “time to give a witness” to “oo wait these are my sisters walking towards me” one of the best feelings ever! To see brothers and sisters who you don’t even know but you have that instant connection with them! After that we enjoyed a nice walk around the island exploring a little. For dinner we went to a different part of this island called KoKo King its a more deserted part of the island, there was a hotel with a restaurant a private beach tubes for the water hammocks swings, really nice relaxing day, we enjoyed dinner and then got a ride back at night on the boat so not only did we get to see the ocean at night but the millions and millions of stars talk about double creation!! I mean romans 1:20 in action fo choo (for true in kriol) The ocean was so powerful yet calming and then you looked up at the millions of stars and your amazed the strength it took to put all them up there and yet Jehovah knows them all by name, during all this i stopped and thought to myself wow Jehovah did this jehovah made this Huge ocean and those million stars and he cares about me, me little kayla why? Most humbling experience ever being surrounded by all of that powerful creation, yet Jehovah still cares about you, and me just so loving of him! I could have stayed there forever!

So right now you might be thinking wow that sounds amazing How could there be a low point of this trip😂 lol well there was! Next morning i woke up sick sick from my stomach 😷 all morning nauseous horrible feeling, and today we had a big day planned we were gonna go snorkeling in this beautiful ocean, how could i pass this once in a lifetime experience, so i went even though my stomach didn’t want to go. By the way its my 1st time snorkeling! So were on the boat and of course waves are crazy great🙄 we get to our 1st stop some coral and a big sea turtle, of course i had to get off to see!! So i did, im a good swimmer but they gave us flippers to swim with and if you haven’t swam with flipper before they are a bit tuff to swim with, so there i am struggling with the flippers but still pushing thru it saw the sea turtle AMAZING, now the coral well if you don’t know there is this type of coral that let me say if you touch it, it will touch you back its called fire coral, it burns if you get touched by it pretty scary i know, so were swimming on top of this scary coral (yes yes it is a beautiful type of coral) I didn’t realize how close this coral is to us soo i stared to slowly but surely panic as im calmly panicking why do i say it like that cause i wasn’t splashing screaming or even making a scene my heart was just racing and i was getting dizzy, while this is happening im trying to stay cool, because my breathing tube thingy started allowing water in so now im drinking salty i mean salty water sooo i had to get myself together to swim to the boat cause if i were to panic i knew my breathing would get harder and harder and allow more water in which in turn causing me to drown so i got myself together and swam to the boat, after that i didn’t get off for the other 3 spots so i stayed in the boat which caused me more sea sickness cause the waves were crazy! Now we have come to our last stop Shark Ray Alley i didn’t come all this way and nearly almost die to sit on a boat and not swim with the sharks, so i jumped off and went for it! One of the most amazing experiences i have ever had the sharks are like the movies swimming around like they own the ocean 😂 to top off this crazy day my phone broke, due to waterproof case malfunction 😣

But i got to swim with sharks and sting rays and saw a sea turtle and saw part of The great barrier reef! I was pretty happy

Last day of Caye Caulker i was excited to go home after the crazy day i had just had so for our last few hours we ate breakfast took a walk around went to a restaurant with swings in the water and swam one last time then boat ride back home and straight to get ready for meeting

Got to comment again in kriol, and got told my kriol is getting better 👍🏽

You didn’t think i forgot my fun facts did you😉

❗️Fun facts- the island is so small you can walk around the whole thing in 2 hours and they don’t allow cars only golf carts

❗️Fun fact- the sharks are nursing sharks so they don’t bite but suck and are used to people swimming with them, they are trained to come at the sound of the boat engine

❗️Fun fact- we got to see the barrier reef second largest reef after the one in Australia (the one that they talk about in finding nemo😂)

❗️Fun Fact- hard working brothers and sisters they had 130 in memorial attendance thats with only having 30 publishers
