I wanted to wake up to shoot the sunrise, but that didn’t happen. I ended up waking up around 8:30. I wasn’t too eager to have breakfast after the previous night’s dinner. They did have the potato bread that was pretty good.

At 10, we went to the beach. I stripped down to my underwear and went into the water. The water was definitely colder than yesterday. I had goosebumps all over my legs and stuff.

Mr. Yang also had a really nasty comment about what I was doing with Larisa. I don’t understand how a Christian could be so against the work of other Christians, just because they’re not affiliated with their organization.
