Sunday, the Lord's day. And what a marvelous day we had. We didn't go to church or spend heaps of time in the Word, but we did experience God in more ways than one.
In the Basson's house where we are residing, Sunday is a day where you can start slowly. We got up at only 9h00. Some of the guys watched the Bulls/Cheetas game and then the Man U/ Barca game untill the wee hours of the morning. The late rise was then a geat blessing to those.
Each one had his own quiet time accompanied by the usual coffee. Heavenly! We all had a few slices of bread with condensed milk for a snack as Tobi's wife was going to make brunch, not lunch so that we could spend the day on the island beaches.
Scooter gang!
Her brunch was an exellent Thai green curry with
rice noodles. It wasn't as hot as yesterdays food and went down very well. Some guys are still feeling the effects of yesterday's very hot food. Now it just burns on the other side!
While we are on the topic of food. We have found another jewel of Thai foods and drinks. It is a type of iced tea, but with lots of sugar and condensed milk. Top it with ice cubes, pour it in a bag, add a straw and you have one very yummy drink. In the same market was the chicks... no I'm not talking about girls, I'm talking about actual baby chickens, cut in half and ready for you to buy, cook and eat. Not my cup of tea. Angelo also loved finding mielies. What a treat.
Tea time.
Chicks
Gooi mielies!
During the afternoon we took the scooters and went to some of the beaches on the north western side of the island. It was beautiful and the sunset amazing. We swam and kicked ball and walked down the beach and just had the most awesome of times. I was left with the question, "How can anyone doubt that there is a God after experiencing this beauty?"
God's handiwork.
Most of the guys had time to skype loved ones back home tonight and it was a perfect end to a truly amazing and magestic day.
Hope you enjoyed your day with God.
