Johnny drove us to Dunn's River Falls...a beautiful cascading waterfall spilling into the blue-green ocean, a gorgeous white sand beach, and shopping. We went with three young folks we met at Bethel: Simone, Pinny (Stephen) and Chavelle. Pastor Gary and all the youth got into a game of keep away - boys vs. girls - that lasted for almost two hours. After finding something to eat, Brian, Chavelle, Pinny and Simone went up the falls. It was a bit tricky, but the hardest part was getting around the massive groups of tourists all holding hands so they wouldn't fall down. it was a perfect day on a perfect post-card beach.
Our miss Annie got a marriage proposal today. A gentleman asked her to marry him. She thought he was joking, so she just laughed. When he said, "I'm serious", she laughed and responded, "No, I'm good." (It's OK Loree and Paul, we're bringing her back single...she just wanted to make sure this got into the blog today!)
We got back early, cleaned up and headed into Brown's Town for Chinese food. It was good, and we got to greet a few people we knew from the retreat center. Kinda like walking down the street in Akeley, only farther from home.
Brian had devotions tonight, talking about long term results from short term missions. it was good to talk about the impact we have had on the folks here and the impact they have had on us.
We also took a few minutes to talk about packing up and getting ready to leave. We talked about things we are looking forward to:
Stella – my friends and my family
Luke – my own bed, my dogs and everything, my family and snowboarding
Scott – everything that’s not here...hot water, Internet access whenever I want it, my own bed
Ellie – I don’t want to leave
Annie – my family, friends, school and a comfier bed and snow
Gary – a warm shower, my own bed, fellowship with members of the church and being able to share the trip with them.
Becky – I miss my friends at work, and hot water
Katy – my Mom and Joe and a hot bath
Wayne – me, too...a bath, taking to the kids and finding out if I still have a business or not.
Cyn – I’m looking forward to sharing my experiences with folks at home and at work.
