valentine's day and a bridge

On Saturday the 12th Luke took me to the Causeway by the Canal for a day together since Valentine's Day was a Monday.  It was nice to get a little time together.  We walked along the ocean, looked at puffer fish and all kinds of other fish and birds, went out to eat, and to a Smithsonian Marine research park/center.  They had hands-on pools where we touched urchins, sea cucumbers and starfish.  We saw a sloth and its baby in a tree.  It was a nice afternoon. 

Friday (the 18th) we took a 3 hr drive and hiked a bit up a mountain to get to one of our DTS student's church and home.  Once there, the church welcomed us and we had a service together where we shared the Word and prayed for each other.  It was really touching.  Afterwards we went to Maria's house (in the last photo of the group she is the older lady in the front with a tan blouse & jean skirt).  She is a student here at YWAM with us.  They had just finished harvesting oranges on their farm and shared some with us - they were SO SWEET!   

The middle photo is the bridge we crossed to get to the church.  It looked great, but swayed a LOT once you got to the middle.  All I could think of was Donkey and Shrek....

We will be having class this week in a village and will be out of touch for a week.
