What’s all new here? Where Josh is in a nice warm place, out of the country, in the sun on the beach.
Josh, playing beach volleyball with some people from a different country. Watching them glide across sand doing all sorts of tricks, while you’re the only white person that’s twice their age. Yes, his name is Josh Streeter, and he is 19 years old. The reason why he is in Mexico is because he, his family, and some friends are here for a vacation. This is their first time being here. It’s nothing like they had expected at all.
With all the open markets and little stores here, it seems really funny how you can bargain with these people. You try to go down but they just seem so stubborn when they are selling someone this stuff. It’s fun to see all the different things from their culture and to compare or contrast their culture from ours.
So here they are, with the family, on a beach playing volleyball in Mexico. It’s about eighty degrees right now here, and it hasn’t even been too windy at all. This is their third day here, but they still are here another four days. After their game of volleyball, Josh went walking down the beach that same day. When he wasn’t that far down, Josh found some turtle shells. These turtle shells looked like animals had been bothering them in the nest. It looked like any kind of animals had been digging and picking at them. It looked like the animals had eaten some or even tried to break the shell. So Josh found them and he tried to cover them up with sand again. So after he covered them up, Josh went back to the hotel.
The very next day Josh went down to the same place to see if the shells were okay. They were, but it looked like the shells had actually cracked, because you could see the sand moving. So he went back to go get some of his family and some of the kids to show them what was happening. They all seemed to love it a lot, so they all went walking down the beach to see if they could find any more.
Well, they didn’t find any more so they decided to go back and just have a shopping day and a night out. Well, they went to some pretty crazy stores, and it is so much fun just to bargain with the sales person. After their shopping day, they went back to their hotel to get ready for their night out.
Once Josh and his family got back to the town and went to some clubs, it was about two in the morning! Since they were tired they decided to go back and go to bed. So the next morning they all went to go for a walk when they all past the turtle shells that they noticed they had already hatched. When they saw all the eggs we counted eight. But there was probably more that they didn’t see.
When they didn’t find any more Josh was kind of disappointed but kind of relieved at the same time. He wanted to find more egg shells to see how many had hatched and had gone into the ocean. But what he was afraid of was that the animals had actually eaten some of the eggs, so some of the turtles weren’t able to survive. Josh wanted to see some of the turtles make it to the ocean and watch them swim in the water and just live their life.
When Josh gets back to the United States, he will have to start deciding what college he wants to go to. Josh is kind of looking at going to school for missionary work. Josh and some of his family has gone on a couple of mission trips all over. They love to help all of the people that need it. Like all the people that are on the streets, don’t have any food at all, or don’t have any food to eat. Josh has worked at a lot of fundraisers with his church just to help out with people from other countries that have no food.
Josh would like to go to a Christian School for sure, one that he likes and that his family likes, and especially one that is not so far from home at all. Josh likes coming home to visit his mom and dad. He likes spending time with his little brother Timmy, who is 15, and his little sister Georgina, who is 6. He promised his little brother he would help him learn how to drive a stick car, and teach his little sister how to swim!
So here is Josh sitting in a plane on his way home. Wish him luck!
