Today was our off day, and almost everyone on the team decided to spend the day on Catalina Island. It was nice to get to sleep in for a change! After an hour bus ride to La Romana followed by a 30-minute boat ride to Catalina Island, we were ready for some quality time on the beach. The weather was beautiful and the sun and water felt great. It was wonderful to be in the presence of God’s beautiful creation. We got some snorkeling in and saw some fish and even an eel! I (Jessi here) even got proposed to by a man I didn’t know! I told him I was flattered but I had left my heart in the United States, to which he responded, “I can teach you medicine, I can teach you languages, and I can teach you love”… but I digress.
After a day of volleyball, swimming, reading, cliff-jumping, and “parrot-fighting” (a rather peculiar sport invented by Cameron Preston), we hopped back on the boat to head home. The day was relaxing and a time of bonding for all of us, but don’t fret, we will all sleep well tonight. Please be praying for our team, as we have had a couple of people get sick the last couple of days. Don’t worry, they are on the upswing—probably just some stuff we picked up from patients and kids, but if there is one thing we have learned this past week it is that prayer is extremely powerful! Sunday was a day of worship and rest. New team members arrived over the weekend, so we are excited to get to know the knew guys. Please pray that in everything we say and do, we would exude with the Lord of Christ! Comments are closed.
