After a draining week, Saturday was a much needed day of rest. We slept in and awoke to banana pancakes, then spent the morning cleaning the villa. Then Daniel, Annie, Gabriel, and Theresa departed on a scenic voyage with a wagon in hand. After trekking over mountainous desert terrain in the blazing sun, they spent a good while riding the hills, while the others took it easy back at the villa, napping and playing dominoes. We drove to the public pool and took a quick swim, then headed to San Felipe church to meet a local Christian youth group and were welcomed with open arms to their passionate celebration. We joined in their singing and dancing, laughed at skits, and were touched when one of the youth group leaders told us we were not students sent from San Francisco, but heaven-sent. Their gratitude was humbling. Back at the house, we cooked a pasta dinner (yeah Daniel!) and then had a reflection session and guided meditation to process the past week. Following our reflection, a fierce game of dillusional Hearts transpired, followed by a restful night and coyotes howling to the full moon.
