This morning, we started our day with eggs, toast, beans, rice and juice. After hearing the roosters crow all morning, our chaplain Matt wanted to share a devotion about Simon-Peter’s relationship with Jesus when the roosters crowed. We discussed how Jesus gave Peter another opportunity after his resurrection to claim his love for his Savior.
We then took a short bus ride to the local women’s ministry and did bucket and tap water filter demonstrations. The crowd intently watched and listened as Luke, Abby, Marie and Jennaka gave examples. After this, some of the group decided to make the walk back to the reservation while the ones who wore flip flops took the bus for a more scenic route back.
Lunch included pasta, bread and juice. After lunch, we got on the bus and headed to our Air BnB which is near the National Park we are visiting tomorrow.
At the Air BnB, half of us swam in the pool while the other half went on a nature walk where we saw poisonous frogs, ate from cacao, and learned about local wildlife. We saw monkeys and sloths back at the house which was pretty amazing. The monkeys greeted us by throwing nuts from the trees above as well as getting quite vocal. We played pool games as a group including categories, sharks and minnows, and races.
Then we had dinner- Different types of pizza and cheese puffs with soda and lemonade (leaving one demanded slice of shrimp pizza for Leader Ben). After that, the group had team time and listened to testimonies from Erik and Matt. We are going to close out our night with some games and conversations, and head to bed to prepare for a fun day tomorrow at the National Park!
