Antigua ~ Summer 2006

I created this blog to let people know about our trip to Antigua this summer. I decided to keep updating during the year to let people know about other ministry opportunities that we have during the year. I pray that it will be an encouragement to others to serve the Lord wherever you are and be willing to follow Him wherever He leads you.

Better late than never....

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated this. Yesterday we took a break from our work to go to Wallings for lunch. Wallings is an old abandoned reservoir in the mountains/rain forest. It is very lush and green and a little bit cooler up there. We had a nice picnic and then hiked around a bit. It didn't seem that much cooler when we started hiking--the sweat was pouring off us after a few minutes, but it was very beautiful.
Today was our "official" day off. We borrowed the Waite's car and went to Long Bay--another beautiful beach. It was a bit busier, but the snorkeling was great. My mom  and I saw a sea turtle, a barracuda, some trumpet fish, and a bunch of other assorted colorful tropical fish and coral. After we could snorkel no more, we decided to eat our lunch in the car--it is air conditioned :) --and take the long, but scenic route home. Except for one beach which we turned off the main road and never found, we were able to find every place we were looking for on the map. We stopped and walked along a completely deserted beach on the way back and found some starfish and neat coral pieces on the beach. It is so beautiful and peaceful--the sound of the waves crashing on the shore. I love the ocean, but prefer it without all the people normally at the beach--if that makes sense. Numerous times today I praised the Lord for His beautiful creation. There is so much creativity and diversity around us!
