Adventure Day

Poas Volcano
Today we went to Volcano Poas. It was epic. No lava though. We then drove to Ms. Cherry's house or Sherry in English. She is in the process of making her home a Children's Home. Her house will house seven children who have parents, but will no longer live with their parents. She has been getting her house ready for over a year and a half now. Paper work is a big part along with waiting time. Her house is smaller than others, but those kids will have a great person as their guardian and a nice place to put their heads at night. We helped her plant a garden, and had a time limit to beat the rain. We planted a variety of plants like cucumbers, cantaloupes, peppers, squash, radishes, and more. Just as we all got back in the van, it started to rain. It was epic. God has great timing. :) Then we were West Coast bound to la playa!!! We got here & the Pacific is amazing! We all were still sweaty from the gardening, and all jumped in the pool. It felt great. We then had supper of grilled steak & chicken, and sang Happy birthday to Nathan. It's been a long day. I didn't get to share a POW & WOW with my team, so I'll do it here.
POW [or low of the day]- getting frustrated with everyone's attitude. Everyone is getting cranky because lack of sleep and amount of work.
WOW- finally realizing I'm in the middle of living my testimony at the moment. & seeing Pacific ocean for the 1st time & alligators in the river & the Poas Volcano

really big alligators. counted over 18 in the water at one point
