I had to check my watch to be sure that we hadn't already been here for three days :-) -- it has only been one day, but we have accomplished a great deal. Yesterday, after waiting an hour in the line-up to clear customs, we arrived at our lodging just as the "A team" was returning from their day's work.
We joined them for dinner at a cafe down near the beach, and then returned for a devotion led by Jon S. The evening was lovely and cool, and there have been no mosquitoes detected as of today. The cloudless night sky provided a glorious view of even lesser known stars. And the cresent moon was bright and beautiful. While there is a bit of a difficulty without running water, but the ocean (a short drive away) and a bar of soap is quite effective. After waking up before an exhausting 4am this morning, it was an easy matter to fall asleep, in spite of a very small mattress. This morning, everybody's favorite alarm clock, a chorus of roosters, gave us plenty of warning that the sun was about to rise. We wonder if the diner down by the beach would give us a discount if we arrive with freshly plucked "chicken"... Before Sunday service, we scrubbed the lower floor of the school and painted the second color (of three) in the upper floor.
