Estas una poco loco (team joke to call each other "a lil crazy")

Day 3:

We woke up in the morning at 6:30, showered (some of us), and went down to breakfast. Immediately following breakfast, we had our daily devotional; this time on how we are the salt and the light of the Earth. What struck me most during our devotional was a quote from Timothy Keller that said that salt's purpose was to glorify what it salted (that was great corn on the cob! instead of great salt). This really made us think about that passage in a different light and how we are supposed to be glorifying God through our "saltiness" and not ourselves or anything else.

After breakfast, we got ready to head out to church at Las Palmas, where 5 World Vision communities are located. Once there, David, Jared, Brian, Molly, and Hannah Richardson were rushed up to the stage to lead the worship. Amazingly things came together on stage, despite the fact that Brian and David had to ad lib the guitar and bass for one of the songs. After worship, we were blessed by Adam and Caroline sharing their stories, with Tony finishing up with a brief message on knowing God's presence. The Mexican pastor and praise band came up, and after a moving worship song set and message, we greeted all of the people at the church (some of us, including myself, only managed to say "Hola" to every single person).

We then moved on to some fish tacos and shrimp enchiladas at a wonderful Mexican establishment complete with live opera-esque singers. We quickly headed back to YWAM and then immediately left for "la Bufadora,"-which according to Noe of World Vision is one of only 4 ocean side blow holes in the world.  The long and beautiful drive down the coast left ample time for "dishes" and getting to know each other better.

At "la Bufadora," we got some great pictures. Soon we headed back to YWAM, stopping to get food along the way. Half of us chose to get Mexican pizza and baked goods while the other half chose to get fruit, vegetables, and baked goods. The pizza was delicious, as well as the baked goods, but we can't say anything about the fruit and vegetables.

All in all, the large amount of driving made it seem like a long day, but we had a lot of fun visiting the new places and hanging out with each other.
