What a fantastic way to conclude our project! A high Sabbath indeed. Church was very warm, downright hot, hard for some of us to stay awake. Brenda did another fine job of translating. We were honored with parting gifts of locally carved maracas.
Didn't have contact information for churches, but Brenda managed to get ahold of Spanish Church and patch us through.
Had a much appreciated rest time in the afternoon, then joined most of the youth and several families at a lookout over looking the gulf. Enjoyed a beautiful sunset vespers there.
Then it was time for "mehenga", soccer. We first played some social games, then a round robin series of 5 on 5 culminating with a final Costa Rica vs USA game. After our lead of 3 - 0, they brought in sub's to slowly take the lead. We ended losing 5 to 6, but had a great night of soccer.
Headed back north, so this will likely be the last entry. Have so enjoyed our time here. Sad to be leaving, but looking forward to being with family again. Though at least one has made plans to stay here - has a wife picked out and everything😏
See you soon. Pura Vida.
