Last weekend, the company that owns my school invited all of its employees on a trip. We went to this nice hotel about 4 hours from our school. The hits has the largest pool in the country! And it is super beautiful and the ocean is just on the other side. It seriously looks like a picture from a magazine!
The SamSon resort! It was like stepping into a picture!
We were only there for Saturday and Sunday, but it was so much fun. Spending time with my coworkers outside of work was such a blessing. They are so much fun! When we got to the hotel and saw the pool we couldn't wait to get our swimsuits on and go swimming! But our staff didn't want to get in until after 4pm because the sun wouldn't be as hot (they are afraid of getting darker, basically the opposite of every American!). So Jen and I went for a swim at the beach. We played with one of our students whose mom works for another part of the company.
Our staff minus a few. Ready for an awesome weekend!
At 4, our staff joined us. They asked us to teach them how to swim. And they chose the ocean to be the first place they tried. LOL. I taught one of them how to float but the rest kept getting scared by the waves so I suggested we move to the pool.

After swimming we went to a Gala dinner. I didn't really understand everything that was going on but everyone was laughing and it was fun to spend time talking with our staff about random things. After dinner we played some games and one was a fashion show where we were given some materials and we had to make an outfit. Our staff decided to make a bikini and our male PE teacher was the model. Let's just say it was hilarious!!!

The next day we spent some more time in the water. Some of the staff were getting the hang of swimming and really enjoying the water (many are scared of the water). We also had an amazingly delicious American breakfast. My stomach hurt so much after it, but it was so good. I can't wait to go back to America and have breakfast :) LOL.
We ended the weekend with a 4 hour bus ride back home. By the time we got back, I was ready to be surrounded by English for the rest of the night. Trying a understand a foreign language takes a lot of energy!
I love the staff at our school! I am so thankful God has called me here!!!
