Monday was a very long day for us. We left Watertown at
12:30 am and did not end up going to bed Monday night until about 11:30. When
we arrived we were picked up by our personal driver for the two weeks, Taisha.
She is incredibly nice and we are very thankful that is willing to drive us
around for the two weeks. Speaking of the driving, it is very different than
back at home. First, the driver is on the right side of the car. Second, you
drive on the left side of the road. Third, the roads are incredibly narrow and
it looks like the two cars will collide. We are glad that nobody here has to
drive! The day concluded with us eating, relaxing, and talking with Pastor
Johnston about what these two weeks would entail. Needless to say, we were very
glad to get some sleep.
Some of us were awakened by the friendly neighborhood
rooster. No need for an alarm clock down here! We started at the school this
morning at 9:00 with devotion and a couple mixer activities so that we could
start to learn some names. We spent some time in our separate groups working on
VBS preparation. It is going to be a great experience getting to work with
people from a totally different part of the world while knowing that they share
the same faith and believe the same thing that we do! We also got our first
taste of the steel pan drums. You could definitely tell that it was our first
time. Our gracious teacher, Kareem, was very patient with us and we were very
thankful for that. We will be playing two songs on the pan drums for the youth
service on the 28th. We spent the afternoon at Runaway Beach. The
water is clear, the sand is white, and the temperature is HOT. We won’t make it
to all 365 Antiguan beaches but we will make it to our fair share. Tonight we
are going to relax playing some games here at our place because tomorrow will
be a long day. Enjoy the pictures from today!
