Trinidad: Day 6

Nearly every morning we would wake up to 5-10 minutes of downpour, then the rain would just stop. It did that about 5 times a day. It felt good after 90º heat and 70% humidity.

Our first stop of the day was an elderly home. Nope, Chris (pictured) isn't elderly, only disabled and unable to walk. While the rest of the team was in the main room singing hymns and getting to know the aged Trini's, I spent my time with him.

Just a few samples of his work with acrylic. He was very nice and interested since I do my "artwork" on a computer in America.

Ignacious, otherwise known as Blake, was just one of the 30 or so drug and alcohol rehab patients. Like all of the Trini's we met, he was very kind and touched my arm wanting to know what white skin felt like.

3:00 rolls around and it's time for Bible Club. Before it officially begins, some youth were more than anxious to show off their football skills.

Back at TTUM, we were treated to a steel pan band practice at the church. The lady pictured disguises herself as a mild-mannered cook by day, and at night is able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. (Ok, so she can't do the second part, but she sure can hammer away on the drums!)

To go along with our nightly de-briefings, Pastor Ashoke came up and gave his testimony and a memorable brief teaching. In return, we proceeded to give him a fold-out chair containing the worst football team in the NFL. (Just kidding Packer fans.) :P

End of day 6.
