Day 9

Greetings from Antigua! There has been a little bit of author switch-up, and this blog entry is brought to you by Phil Waldschmidt. Today was a fun day! We started it off with Day 2 of the Eagle Express. The theme of the day was “Jesus, Our Trusted Pilot” and revolved around the story of Jesus overcoming temptation in the desert. Overall, the day went swimmingly. Speaking of swimmingly, after VBS we were off to the beach! Jake stayed home to hold down the fort and tend to his wicked sunburn. This beach was right down the hill from the Sternhagen home. Although there wasn’t much sand, it made up for it with the beautiful water and sublime weather. We even had our own little scuba adventure finding several treasures like conch shells and pieces of coral. After the beach we came home to a spectacular KFC dinner (sidenote: KFC is significantly better here than in the states. It is described by the Antiguans as “The Best Chicken in the World”, and we would agree). In the evening, we went to “Caribbean Cinema” to catch a movie with the LYC members. We had a couple options, and after deep consideration, we went with “White House Down”. Good movie and a good time had by all.


Please "enjoy" the picture of the "horse spider" that was found in the bible study room we had been in at school all night last night.
