Sunday: Church and Surfing

Well, it's not every Sunday that you get to surf after church. But that's exactly what we got to do today. We worshipped together with Casa Vida church and Riley shared her testimony during the service. Some of our girls helped with the babies in the "nursery", which was a small open tent in the shade. Some others helped with crafts during children's church. We fellow-shipped and ate together with the congregation after services. It was a great chance for our team to experience church in a different cultural context. Afterwards we went to Playa Grande beach near our lodgings and learned to surf, well sort of. Several of the students seemed to get the hang of things real quick whereas it was a bit more challenging for the adults. Everybody had a blast at the beach. Surfing is a big draw in this area of Costa Rica and in fact, Casa Vida church began with a group of Christian surfers.
