countless palm trees

At 7.30 this morning Laura and another punctual person woke from a restful night of sleep to find everyone had been dining for the past fifteen minutes. This was a great start to an even better day. Pastor Stephanie gave an inspiring sermon at the welcome ceremony today after we exchanged ´open the eyes of my heart Lord´ with the members of the church of La Merced. (exchanged, as in they sang it to us in spanish, while we sang it to them in french). The rest of the day was spent playing volly and frisbee with the kids and touring the community. Molly was transformed into a Queen (or bride) at the playground and soon everyone was wearing the flora of the community.
