Hello everyone,
Today was Sunday, our last day of rest before the hard work actually starts. In the morning, we went to the Baptist church in Miami, which is nearly all black people. We were warmly ewelcomed by the pastor, who askd Devorah to stand up and tell everyone what we are here to do.
After church, we came home and had lunch, and spent time sitting around getting to know each other better.
A few of us went swimming, and we took a walk down the railway tracks just outside the campground. There's trees and branches down everywhere, and garbage piled in odd places, and some of the roofs are tarped up.
It gets dark quite early here, around 5:30-6, and the sun fully sets around 7:30. It's very peaceful in the dark. There's crickets everywhere, peeping in the grass, all the lights cast a lovely glow, and the air loses some of its wet heat.
We're all going to bed early, because we have to get up in time to pack up, eat breakfast, clean our cabins up, and be in the vans by 5:15 AM to get to the University in Boca Raton by 7:30.
Pray that God will grant us clarity of mind and patience, so we will learn how to reach the hearts of the people we will speak with.
