“The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat he said to them, Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest. So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place.”
That’s exactly what we did today, a boat and a solitary place. How perfect. Today was our free day so we packed up Buddy and Gumby and headed to Paradise Island. We arrived at the beach where we had to take a ferry across to the island. It cost 10 pesos or 20 cents each person.
As we got off the boat we saw that there were palm trees, long beaches, lounge chairs, picnic tables, food, ping pong and paths to walk.
It was a day of rest and relaxation. The team has been busy from the time we arrived so this was a day to renew our strength and our spirit. Connie and I got into the water for awhile, played some ping pong and then I took a nap. According to Connie I was snoring but I really think it was buddy
Buddy took advantage of the day also. It’s very tiring being the international representative for this team so he got a few winks, a few rays and he was ready to go again. Gumby thought it would be more fun to take a swim so off he goes.
After spending most of the day relaxing we took a taxi, went to the mall for a bite for lunch and headed back to the hotel for our evening devotions and team meeting. I’m about ready to head to bed so we’ll talk to you tomorrow.
