Pastor Jeannot asked us if we could stay in Desire for the entire day following the service because his wife and the mamas we're going to prepare for us a lunch that included fish and goat. It was an honor for us to have the women of Desire provide us with a fantastic meal.
It truly was a day of hanging out and enjoying the company of the children and staff of Desire as we anxiously awaited lunch. Pastor Jeannot said his wife prepared a special fish dish for my wife Marci as a small token of appreciation for the time he spent in Colorado with us back in March. Marci loved the fish, and knowing the work and care going into the preparation made it all the more special.
Immediately following church there was an impromptu hike up the nearby mountain that presented a couple challenges like no water and an abundance of cactus. Our team's feet were attended to well by the children who worked quickly to remove any prickly spines that attached themselves to the feet or other body parts of team members.
On a day with high temperatures hanging out at Desire, it was fitting to spend the Sabbath with those we came to love and be with and truly enjoy one another's company and good food!
Praise God for a day to devote to Him!
