And on the 9th day, God let us rest.....

No work today......but we still got up early.  Can't help it anymore.  Got up at 6:30am and w.  alked into town to experience the "Farmer's market".  We tasted several local fruits and other things like sugar cane, papaya and water apple.   Purchased pineapple... 3 for 2 dollars (yep, all you pineapple lovers.. be jealous!).   And they are delicious!!   Saw several loads of sand being hauled by ox and cart.  Got photos to show too.  Then we came back to the church and had lunch.  After lunch a group went back to the beach to hang out and some others went into town to make some phone calls home, purchase coffee to take home and hang out at the pool.  

Church tonight was very special.  They did a slide show to let us see the vision for the new building.  We cannot wait to see how the project progresses.  I think they'll see a team from Nash County, North Carolina in this place again.  The sermon was based on 2 Kings 6:24 through 7:9.  Pastor Carlos has a great sense of humor and he showed it by picking on one of us for being scared (ask around, you'll hear the story too). 

After the service, the church came out and gave each of us on the team a little gift to say thank you for our work.  We are the ones thanking them for having us here, taking such good care of us, and for bringing us into their fold.  Everyone here has treated us with such love, we have all been so blessed.

God is good.....All the time!!
