Breakfast was hot milk with LOTS of sugar over corn flakes. The flakes had been in the milk a while so they were very soggy. Due to lack of water, we had no coffee.
Went to church @ 9:30 was to start at 9:30... no one was there... until 10 and then it started. Sang/prayed intermixed continually for 50 minutes and then the pastor preached for 50 minutes. They did invite Dad to come up and give greetings. It was a LONG 2 Hours for me! Two ladies got so worked up during the singing that they "fell out" and were caught by two deaconesses who followed them around stacking chairs and waiting to catch them so they didn't fall and hurt themselves... interesting!
After the service, we purchased a fried taco to help with the building fund.... they currently meet in the bottom of the pastors house and are building a church that will seat 1000. From the foundation that is pictured... the building will rise up 90 meters!
We then went to a Restaurant as a total group... turned out to be a RITZY one... waiters in black ties... NOT what Dad wanted... but where we went... so costly Dad had to use his credit card to pay for it. Check out the way we rode there in a taxi! TEN of us in one 70's Toyota Corolla taxi.
The Restaurant did have live marimba music... great! And outside it had a four level cement slide. We spent hours sliding down it... at one point ALL of us went in a train line! The kids loved it. This was the FIRST time they had ever eaten in such a place and was sure to be a day they would remember for a long time.
It is interesting how something so simple... such as a cement slide can bring such joy!
Then we caught a mini van/bus to the zoo... 29 people in the bus... Pictured is one like we took. The kids loved the zoo! Quite a memorable day!
