Our weekend was packed full of relaxation! After a long week of early mornings and long clinics we were eager to rest. On Saturday, we got an extra hour of sleep – what a blessing! We ventured to Catalina Island via bus, a big boat, then a small boat. The big boat ride was quite a rough ride. Good thing everyone packed their Dramamine. We pit stopped in the actual middle of the ocean to snorkel for a bit. The waves were rough, but the views were beautiful! We got to chase fish, see reefs, and crack lots of Finding Nemo jokes J. The island provided multiple ways for us all to rest. Some played volleyball, some slept in the shade, and some waded in the crystal clear shallow water. The island served us a buffet for lunch and Dr. Bob found a way to make our lunch biblical by passing his freshly caught and cooked snapper down the tables for us all to share. It was a picture-perfect day (see above)! Once returning to SCORE, we continued resting by going to the beach, going to get refreshments at Lilly House, or playing games.
We continued our weekend of rest this morning by waking up later and then walking to the local church right down the road. To some of our surprise, the service was completely in Spanish. Although the lyrics of the songs were in Spanish, we recognized the songs to be popular songs we all were familiar with. It was a neat experience to worship with the congregation singing in two languages. We were even able to take Communion with them as one united church family. The second wave of medical providers arrived this weekend and we have enjoyed welcoming them to crew. We were sad to see Dr. Salser, Dr. Duggar, Dr. Weatherly, Brett, Kyle, Logan, Sarah, Erin, Rebecca, Henrik, and Jose leave us this weekend. They were extremely valuable members of our team and we will miss them dearly. We’re enjoying our last night of relaxation and preparing our bodies, hearts, and minds for the work ahead this week! Please continue to pray alongside us! Buenas noches!
