Saturday Fun

Today was a day we all have been look forward to. We made plans with a local company to do one of their adventure packages. We started this morning with kayaking through the mangroves. This was a fun experience for the whole team. We broke up into groups of two and started naming our kayak teams. I was relieved that Jonny chose me as his partner.... we had a kayaking experience a couple of years ago and I didn't think he would want to do that again! Once we got to the beach, we got out of our kayaks and boarded a boat that would take us out to a reef for snorkeling. Jonny and I remembered our day on the water from two years ago and we made the team apply and reapply sunscreen throughout the whole day. I have to admit that some of us still look a little "sun-kissed" but no one got badly burned. We had a great time snorkeling. It is always amazing to see God's creation and think about how He has a plan for everything. We swam with jellyfish, stingrays, and even a couple giant turtles. We then went back to the beach for an island lunch. We had fun looking at all of the conch shells on the shore while we waited for our lunch. Whoever says that they are an endangered species has never been to this beach. They were everywhere! We then enjoyed our lunch: barbecue chicken, rice, veggies, salad, and fruit punch. After our lunch we headed back to our kayaks. We went back through the mangroves. The team members were a little more confident on the way back and I noticed much more splashing and bumping into each other on the way back.

We came back to the house and got cleaned up and decided we needed some more ice cream. We took Nathan and Renee downtown for some more Australian Ice Cream. I can't even begin to describe how good this ice cream is. We really need some in Greenville!

We have enjoyed the day to relax and enjoy the island. We are ready to serve at Maranatha tomorrow. We will be doing the children's sunday school and children's church. We will also be having several special music numbers in the service. I am excited about the opportunity to speak in the ladies' Sunday School tomorrow morning.

Our trip is coming to a close and we have enjoyed every minute of it. Please continue to pray that we will finish strong and not lose sight of our task.

For God's Glory,
