I can't believe how fast this week has gone by. It seems like just yesterday that we landed at the Santiago airport and looked around for our missionary guide to pick us up. Today was our relax and rejuvinate day - a time to reflect on the week and give our muscles some rest. We had breakfast at the group home again, then drove to an area north of Santiago that has 27 waterfalls you can climb up to and slide down. It takes all day to do the 27 so we just did the bottom 7 but it was a blast! The second to last one had a jump or slide option and most of us did both (slid down then climbed back up and jumped). A few of us even jumped twice.
After that we drove to the beach on the north side of the island and spent 2 hours swimming in the ocean, sitting in the sun, and enjoying some of the local shops on the beach while enjoying some "cerveza" at the local beach hut. Our bus driver helped us negotiate good prices on beach chair rentals as well.
We're both sad and excited that the week has come to an end. Sad to leave this beautiful place and the beautiful people and mission here, but excited to be going home to family and friends and to share our story and and experience. We have some incredible stories to tell and are excited to share the mission here with others back in the US to make them aware of what is going on down here.
See you all soon, and thanks for the continued prayers as we finish our journey tomorrow!
