Today Chastity, Amanda and myself are going on a fishing tour in the mangroves. Jen got up and went out in service with her friends Carmen and Nancy and Sam drove us down to the mangroves and then rested in the A/C all day due to his heat rash. Alex, the presiding overseer here, arranged the trip for us with a local brother, Marco, who works for one of the tour companies. It was a blast! The mangroves gone on forever here. It truly feels like you are in the jungle with the vines growing overhead to provide nice shade. There are crocodiles in the mangroves, even though we never got a chance to see any. We did spot some monkeys though. After they spotted us and our bananas they came running to the boat, jumped on and started eating the bananas right out of our hands. They peel your fingers back to get to the banana. One of them, probably the head one, was getting alittle irritated with the other monkeys and started growling at them. He got a banana from Alex and when Alex turned to get another banana he came on the boat and slapped Alex on the butt! It was hilarious!
Amanda and I didn't catch any fish, but the others did. They caught a couple of pufferfish, cute little guys that puff up when they get their belly's rubbed, a grunterfish that makes this weird grunting sound, a soapfish that when you massage it's tails secrets a jelly that then turns to soap when you rub your hands together, and a red snapper. It was such a great time!
The meeting was at 7pm last night and afterwards we had refreshments for a sister that is moving. Met a nice brother who was visiting from San Jose, Scott Moore. He use to be at the same table as James when we was at bethel! He couldn't believe I was James' brother. Went home afterwards and called it another night.
