A full Sunday

Today was my first day of church in the area.  The church that I attended was Crossroad Bible Church.  It was good, not home, but everyone here is so friendly!  An amazing story was told today in church, though.  A family here, originally from Columbia, has just recently moved permanently to Guinea.  The reason that this story is so impressive, the family has asked the church to STOP giving to them!  Pastor Steve, started out this story with a story from scripture, Exodus (I believe chapter 35), here the Israelites had been building the tabernacle and the community had been so giving that they had exceeded what was needed for the making of the tabernacle, in fact, they had much too much.  As a result Moses told the community to stop giving.  I have NEVER heard of anyone telling a community to stop giving!  I must say that I am impressed with this family!

And so after church!  Today was beautiful, sunny all day!  So I went for a walk....a fairly long walk...an hour or so... to El Club de Equitacion Club Clayton---I found some horses!  Of course, they were closed :(  But I found some!  The club is closed, as are most establishments on Sundays, so I will need to find another day to visit and hopefully, they'll like me and let me in on a more regular basis!   I am thinking a riding club for the school?.... :) 

Well, after walking all the way to the club, I caught a taxi home, it was nice to not be slightly nervous, while walking, of crocodiles!  I have yet to see any crocodiles, however, I heard that they were an issue last year, they scare me!  On my walk out, I found myself leaning away from any small creek, pond, or sewer!

The rest of the day, I worked on lesson planning, and I feel I was relatively productive!  Had dinner with Abby and Cheryl, and came home.  We have a new teacher arriving tomorrow morning at 1, in the morning.  And we are still in search of a music teacher...if anyone knows of someone who would like to teach in Panama!

Well, the days are getting earlier, tomorrow I arrive at school at 8, soon it will be much closer to 6:30, on that note, I think it may be nearing my bed time!
