approaching week 5...

Today we had to head into town to renew our visas. It's hard to believe we've been here this long already. To get into town we either ride bike along the beach (45 minutes one way) or we take the water taxi (15 minutes).
Last weekend I attempted to post an update and upload some pictures, but it turned out to be more of a lesson on flexiblity :) Eventually I had to give up and hope for it to work out this weekend. Obviously things came together a little better this weekend since I'm able to post some pictures!
During week three we had a married couple, Johnny and Carla, come join us as our guest speakers. The theme was the gospel. We took a deeper look at the gospel and learned more about the culture during the time Christ was crucified. I think it's safe to say that we all gained for knowledge of our freedom in Christ, especially through some exercises we did to identify lies we've been believing and then applying Truth to them. Johnny also taught us about different themes that God has woven all throughout scripture, including themes such as baptism from creation through the New Testament. It was really fascinating to listen to him share about Scripture.

*Every morning we start our days with devotions and worship.



*Weekly team building activities are a part of our schedule. It's amazing how much we can learn about each others and ourselves through an exercise that appears to be quite simple...
