It is about noon on Wednesday as I write this. The missions conference is in full swing and I thought I would take a moment to update everyone on our week.
Monday was a free day and the Indian Baptist Theological Seminary treated us to a back water cruise. This is a boat ride down small canals that shows the beauty of the country and provides a glimpse of the people as they lead their daily lives. It lasted about three hours.
While it was hot, the scenery was spectacular. We did have one small incident. Some of the vegetation in the canal got wrapped around the propeller on the boat and we had to stop to clean it off. A passerby volunteered to dive in the canal and free the propeller, but he wanted a pair of sunglasses. After about 45 minutes and Ms. Georgia volunteering her sunglasses, we were freed and continued on our trip.
Later that day, we went to do some shopping and then had a dinner at a local resort. The views along the water at the resort were breathtaking and we were treated to traditional music and dancing during our meal. The fellowship among our team members was the best part of the meal, however.
After the Monday adventure, we were ready to start the conference on Tuesday.
