Rest Awhile

The week between Palm Sunday and Easter is called "Holy Week", and there are many festivals and parties that take place in local communities. We decided this would be a good time to take a break from our Language School studies and go to a local beach for a few days with some of our new friends who are also serving here in the Philippines.

Before we left, our Director sent us a quote from Richard Foster that said, "Sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is take a nap." I agree.

The 1 hour trip to/from the beach was provided by the "Brian Boat" in the background. It's larger than it appears (note the guy with the bag walking up the gangway); and has a set of bamboo pontoons on either side that keep it afloat.
