This week has flown by at supersonic speed! Wednesday we spent the morning in service. David and I returned on a lady he left the book with last week. She invited us in and we had a short study with her. (We actually came back a few days later with a local sister on Saturday and had another study. The sister made arrangements to continue the study with the woman next Saturday!) After service we headed to the beach again with some of the friends. This beach was private, had to pay a few bucks to get in, but it was worth it. When we got there they took our fish and lobster order. One hour later, they brought us freshly caught and prepared food. On the way out we drove through a group of howler monkeys up in the trees. We were hoping to get a glimpse of these guys in their natural habitat, so we were thrilled when we came across them.

Saturday the congregation had a little farewell party for all of us that are leaving. The Burke family, from Oregon, have been here for 5 1/2 months, and Toni - from Australia for 2mths. We are all heading home next weekend. Of course right before the party started, the electric went out for a few hours. It gets dark here around 6:30. So we all enjoyed the candlelight atmosphere. When the lights came on, the kids taught the locals how to play Duck Duck Goose - on concrete! No major injuries were reported. After that we played a fun game of Spoons. Austin was narrowly defeated by Sister Burke. Score one for the moms!
