Meditation Day

Today was a pretty uneventful day as far as working went. I woke up, drank some coffee, ate some fruit (plantains included) and packed to move down the road. Notre Dame left at 10:30 and I was at the pool by 11. St Francis was at the worksite this morning so Betty and I had silence AND an entire pool to ourselves. Our day included but was not limited to: napping, floating, reading, beaching and chatting. St Francis came back and had a free afternoon so it was a little more crowded after lunch but that didn't stop me from putting on my headphones and taking a nap by the pool. Lunch today was hot dogs... I was in my own little heaven on earth. The day was spent regrouping and taking time to rest; physically and mentally.

After the morning/afternoon of bronzing, we had a delicious dinner followed by late night zumba. I thought very seriously about getting certified as an instructor because I want to bring this twilight zumba idea back home but I don't think the art would be perfected without the Jamaicans and the tropical scenery. The humidity adds a whole new element too- by the 2nd song you are dripping sweat from places you didn't know you could sweat. By the end of the hour, you look like you were freshly dunked in a pool. Either way, if I don't take anything else back with me... twilight zumba is where it's at.

Betty, Gregory and I shared post-zumba drinks and had a God talk. One of those talks where you know He's the one leading the conversation. It's always touching to see any of the guys pray or talk genuinely about the "Fada up habove." Greg told me about the Church of Christ here and how any other church he's been to seems bland compared to the 3 hour service there where you can feel the Holy Spirit throughout the entire service. I wasn't shocked to hear how much he loves it when he explained that there isn't just music then preaching... there's music then preaching then music then preaching then dancing with music and more preaching. Any church with music, dancing and the Holy Spirit sounds like an A+ church in my book. I want to make it there before I leave.

Like I said, pretty uneventful as far as work went but the rest was a blessing. Tomorrow we have church and then the Northland team gets here. Can't wait to see you Dusty & Corinne!! I have some mangos waiting for you :)

Gooood night!
