Sunday, July 5

This morning Dick had arranged for us to be at two different churches, but the team couldn’t split up, so we formed a team of just interns to go to a small church in Oracabessa. Everything went really well. We were supposed to do the Champion drama, but at the last minute decided not to. Which was good because we have never practiced it, and I had never even seen it until a few days ago. We had the afternoon off again (it’s been a pretty slow week). Mike and I went in the ocean after lunch, and then we played dominoes with Brad, Larry, and Roger. After dinner we drove to the other side of Ocho Rios and did an evening show. It went well. This kid (like 10 or 12) came up to me towards the end and tried to talk to me, but I knew what he was about right away so I was ignoring him. I was next to Roger so he asked Roger if I was his wife. Ha! Roger said no, he was my father. Even then that didn’t discourage him. He later asked me to dance with him while we were packing up. I told him no, and then I think Larry scared him off. Still when we were leaving he tried to get me to roll down the window to talk to him. He was a persistent kid but not too bright. One thing that was really cool was I saw this guy from the Horizons team talking to a group of kids after the show. He was seriously sitting down with them and praying with them, and I know he was talking to them about Jesus. It was just cool to see him come out and interact with people like that. I see it as my job to enable people to be missionaries and spread the word to people wherever we go, and see stuff like that makes me smile. Breakfast isn’t until 9:30 tomorrow. I get to sleep in. J
