Today we got to sleep in (if we could) with breakfast at 8:00am instead of 6:30am. Daryl made breakfast for the team today, giving Grace, Robyn, and Joanne the day off to rest also. They have really taken care of us. After breakfast we went to church and each one of us had time to tell about our self, where we were from and about family, and a personal testimony. We also celebrated communion with our brothers and sisters in Christ. After church Ignacio brought us to his home for lunch. The path was steep in some places but it was worth the hike. What a beautiful quiet area he has, away from traffic and noise, great for his kids and grand kids to visit grandpa and grandma. After lunch he beat Austin in chess and Matt in a checkers like game but it was with chess pieces. We walked around his house and enjoyed the peace and quiet, and visited with him. Then we went back to our hotel to rest and read and write emails. In the evening more of the same.
Today we introduce Brad
