Another full, fabulous day being servants of our gracious loving God! Today at breakfast we tried some of the local fruits. We had red skinned bananas. They were sweeter than the bananas we are used to. We also tried another fruit which like most things here I can neither pronounce or spell.
Following breakfast, we attended church at a Warangi church. The service ran 2 hrs long. I don't think I'll complain when Pastor Wade runs long! Four men of the church each read a Bible reading and spoke on the reading. The music was lively and some were famaliar. We were warmly welcomed and made to feel at home, just like at Cormorant!
We met Patty Sue and the youth that are living at Sweet Refuge for lunch. My meal was crab soup with a whole river crab, shrimp and fish in it. Then we returned to the hotel to celebrate Jeff and Rosa's birthdays. In Ecuador, it is tradition to smash the celebrant's face into a cake. Jeff wasn't very cooperative but Rosa went with the flow.
We then went to worship at Casa de Fe. All of the children were animated and engaged. Kenda lead the children in songs with actions. Then some of our group put on a skit about Sual meeting Jesus on the road to Damascus. The children laugh at our poor attempts at Spanish. We then went off (with Kendra driving!) to the Nate Saint house where we heard the story of Nate Saint and the other missionaries that were killed by Warangi Indians. Barb accidently got locked in the bathroom at the Nate Saint House.
Then out for another wonderful meal. Back to the hotel for a chat with Tanya from Casa de Fe, wrap-up, and prayer. Now to bed in our cabin that seems like a summer camp.
