This action-packed week was filled with new
friendships, delicious island food, rain, leading the church service, and a decent amount of sunburn and bug bites...
On Saturday, we all started off the day by waking up at
the early hour of 5 to then travel into Luganville (a half hour drive) to buy
sand for the water tank, find internet at a cafe, eat lunch, and pick up our
foreman from the airport. We were all in town until about dinner time
and the girls headed home. The boys
stayed in town for dinner and then found a taxi to go to the airport. Once they had picked up Joshua from the airport,
they all got stuck at a music festival for two hours before they could all get
home because their bus driver was waiting for more customers. By the time they got home, it was
around 11:30 in the night and they went straight to bed. Sunday included Abbey giving a sermon using the coconut tree
as an illustration for the body of Christ and individual Christians. We had
worship lead by Bradley and Charlene and then had another sermon given by
Ainsley about "being a passionate Christian". Given the fact
that we were on island time, we assumed that church would start later than
expected. We were wrong and actually, island time worked in reverse in this instance where
people actually all got to church early and we had to start early (it started at 9 instead of 9:30). After church, Abbey and Hannah were doing
laundry by hand while Clemont was preparing dinner.
The girls were both stopped from doing laundry and then "Momma," the house mom took over and taught us how to properly hand wash clothes.
We then had a time for rest and then went to
a really deep swimming hole that had
really blue water (Called a Blue Hole here in Vanuatu). On the way home, we
all met some of the host family's relatives and got to pray for them.

So, what did you learn about doing laundry?
