We had a day off today which was a much needed thing. We spent the morning sleeping in and slowly waking up as a team. It was a catch up morning. It was so nice to have breakfast and catch up on emails, pictures and just spend time all together in the hostel.
Of all places to go back to, the kids were very excited to head to the cemetary again. Their main reason was to bring food so they could feed the cats. The cemetary has so many cats and Naomi especially couldn't wait to get back there to check on them. John took Jack and Naomi there for the afternoon to have some Daddy time with them. They loved it and figured out the cats love french fries.
I spent the afternoon with the girls on the trip. We took the subway to the botanical gardens to explore and find a place to sit and hang for awhile. This group of girls is a whole lot of fun so far! God has handpicked such a unique group of girls with so many different personalities and giftings. It's really neat getting to know them all. Becca suggested that we do affirmations and led the team in this. It was such a special time to hear each girl get affirmed and to see the unity and joy this brought. We then shared our personal goals for the trip and it was so precious to see the vulnerability and their hearts for the Lord shining through. What an amazing group of women and I'm blessed to get to be a part of this journey with them.
We came home to quite a suprise and the guys of the team planned a candelit dinner for us. They pushed all the chairs and tables from the entire hostel into the lobby and set up one huge dining room table. They served us drinks, salad, pasta, hot chocolate and ice cream...and they even serenaded us! It was quite a night...thank you guys...you blew us away!
Thank you Lord for this team and for the experiences you have already given us as a group.
