Last night we had a team dinner at the skate park. It was a nice way to thank the Adams family (interns) for their three months serving here and at the same time welcome me to the team. I had a great time with everyone and their kids!! It was fun cooking on the grill too. Some of my new friends from Puerto Viejo (youth) were there too and we enjoyed sharing the meal with them. Meals are such a great way to build relationships, here as in all cultures.
After dinner we had some entertainment from the girls. Here is a high-energy performance by Beka and Hope, the Adams girls.
Earlier in the day I accidentally rode my bike over a 7 foot long bushmaster snake. It had just been killed by my neighbor. Bushmasters are highly venomous and one bite can be fatal!!

one of the fangs is broken off, but check out the other one!!
that is scary...you be careful (don't roll your eyes at me) ;)
ReplyDeleteseriously, I didn't even think about that kind of thing there. How often are they found around like that?
There's something about that song that girls love!
First of all, those girls are the CUTEST, and second of all...I am with Cheryl...that snake is seriously FRIGHTENING Whit!(:
ReplyDeleteWow! Glad we haven't come across one of those on our visits! Thought you might be getting into "snake handling"; glad to know it was dead! I've added you to my blog reader and am looking forward to hearing more... best wishes and you'll be in our prayers.

ReplyDeleteWhit,
ReplyDeleteThat is a very frightening sight! Glad to see you blessing others and being blessed.
The song was precious!!
Thanks for sharing our daughter's dance. We may be biased, but we thought it was great too.
ReplyDeleteAllen wishes he could have been there when you saw that snake. That is awesome. We only got to see one snake while in Puerto and it was not nearly as big as that one.
We are thankful that we got to meet you and will be praying for you as you minister to the precious people of Puerto viejo.
We are proud of you and think you make a great addition to the team.
Allen & Carol
OH MY WORD! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!.....ok...scary!
