Day #2

 After a long day of travel Thursday we were treated to a yummy supper cooked by the local ladies at the ministry center. Rice, beans, chicken, pasta noodles and soda. Delicious! We ate with Steve Brauning(lower left gray hair) and some others folks from Ontario who were also staying at the center.
 One of several pit stop potty breaks on long drive to Pedernales
Lunch pit stop. PBJ sandwiches along side an amazing beach! Benj was searching for shells and a big ol wave got the best of him.... so much for his dry socks and shoes for the rest of the trip!! Troy didn't mess around with the waves...he just took off his shoes right away and waltzed on in the water...then we got a guns muscle flexing show.(tall young man in the middle is James.... He came yesterday as well, but hopes to stay for 1.5 months as his co/op for grade 12) He will be joining our team for the week.

 Leo is a retired contractor from Ontario(cutting the buns) who is joining us this week as the job is a challenging one and Duane was all about some extra help. Today we drank Coca Cola in honor of Chad VanGinkel. Every time we stopped at a pit stop we remembered how you liked to purchase an ice cold Coke 2 years ago!:) Other than sore bums/stiff joints from the long trip in an old van, we had a very good day! Another delicious supper made by a local gal at the hotel we stayed at last year, group devotions, some card playing and socializing, it's now time for bed!

  1. Looks like fun, one thing just curious if the roosters and dogs are your early, early morning noise makers yet? Although I think Jesse sleeps right thru it.

    1. They were there at the Mission Center, walking us up as normal. And yes Jesse's (and his whole room) slept through it this morning. We will see if we have the same alarm clocks in Pedern ales :-)
