Up bright and early for breakfast. 7 am... I think only 5 or 6 of us had breakfast. Good luck getting 20 skateboarders up at 7 am for breakfast. I definitely did not have luck getting anyone up to join me for breakfast. 
Today we headed to the lighthouse. It was a hike up the side of a mountain to a lighthouse that sat on the top looking out over the pacific. It was hot, but we managed to do it. The kids had a good time and it gave an amazing view of the city we would be calling home for the next 7 days.
After the hike it was definitely time for a swim in the ocean or a dip in the pool, and a little siesta. Later that night we would be doing our first club night with the local skaters, we had met some but I was getting excited to meet the crew and get to know them a bit better.
Tonight we had our first Club night. Word had gotten out that we were there and lots (20) of guys showed up to hang out skateboard and hear a piece of the gospel from Dean the first night through a translator (Andrew who works at the YWAM base). It was a really fun night and went really well.
Tonight I noticed our kids seeing needs and wanting to meet the needs of others around them. It became a trend I saw as the week progressed. We had given Andrew all the gear we brought down to distribute as he saw fit. But tonight kids saw needs and wanted to grab boards and give them out to their new friends.
