Tuesday we were able to meet one of the RCS's sponsor children. He is not much of a little kid any more. He is doing his 4 month practicum for teaching in Macohan.On Wednesday we were up early and on the road by 6:00 am heading back to civilization.
We were in Antigua for lunch at Camparo's. ( A better fried chicken than we have) Later we took a tour of the old city including a 400 year old cathedral which has been destroyed by earthquakes.. twice, and a cloistered convent. Our girls were thankful they live in the twenty first century.
We spent some time in the market, matching our bargaining skill against the pros. The locals are so good that most of us think we got the better deal.
On Thursday we were up early, 2:30 am, and off to the airport. An uneventful series of flights to Houston, Calgary and finally Regina made for a long day. As we walked off the plane in our home airport we were greeted with a great sight of many family and freinds.
As I look back over the last week and a half I am amazed at the growth in our students and myself. We have seen first hand what God can do if we jump into his will with everything we have. As Les described it, most of us will go through our life standing in the shallow waters of the river that is God's will. Safe and in control of our own walk. Some will trust God totally and jump into the middle of the river and let it take you wherever He wants. Those are the type that He can use and that accomplish fantastic things in his kingdom. Les challenged us to jump and let God have control of where our lives go.
I want to thank all of those who supported us with prayer and finances. There is no doubt in my mind that it was worth all the effort.
