Chris got to preach one night. Jan is disappointed she didn't get to share a message she had prepared but that's alright.

We took the fast boat to another village on two days for a separate medical clinic.

This was San Jose village where we stayed and built the church. The house directly under the sign is where the girls stayed and the blue house next to it was our "dining room" and the entrance to our outhouse in the back yard. The village was built on three sides of a square with this soccer field in the center. Some houses also extended on each side of the square along the river. One estimate I heard was that 400 people lived here.

Teresa, Linda, Rene and Jayme and some of the guys dance with the native Bora tribe at a tourist spot we visited on Friday. We purchased a lot of souvenirs from them.

On Friday we saw ant eaters, monkeys, sloths, butterflies, tapirs, and lots of other animals at a butterfly reserve and a little farm that had various animals we could hold and look at.

We actually spent most of the time on the boat but a few people got off when we were tied up. Mornings and evenings were the most productive fishing times.

Jan and Laura did the least fishing. Another activity was a mystery game based on Star Trek the Next Generation.

Everyone fished except Laura. However not everyone caught fish. But we all had fun.

Tonia was proud of her fish. Jonathan caught the first fish, and the most fish and Susie caught the biggest fish. In the background is the dock where we boarded the boats.

Susie and Linda organized a photo scavenger hunt. Each team of two had to photograph something for every letter of the alphabet. Here Theo poses for her partner for the letter H.

We saw wild life including this friendly butterfly, osprey, eagles, ducks, quail, geese, a lone cow, a deer and of course fish. We caught bass but none of the other promised fish.
