Sharon and David C.

Ceri, Sharon, and David Chang climbed into the landrover and drove past coconut palms, banana trees, and several other sites until they were up in the mountains. The driver turned onto a very narrow road that lead to the river and laid on the horn. He just held it there and didn’t let go… David Chang turns to Ceri and says, “This is where it get’s interesting.” The driver beeps twice then lays on the horn again for a long time. Why? Because of the narrowness of the road, you can not meet with any other cars. So anytime a car goes down this road, they have to hold down their horn so any cars at the bottom know to wait.

Upon reaching the river, they all got out of the landrover and walked across on a swinging bridge! David, of course, was hopping across the bridge to make it swing like swinging bridges are supposed to do. What a spectacular sight! It was just picture perfect sitting in the church in the middle of the jungle watching the people stream across the swinging bridge coming to church. The service went smoothly and God really blessed. For potluck, the people proudly served some of the local delicacies, sardines and many other kinds of fish. They had to ask about each dish to see whether it was truly vegetarian or not. One dish looked JUST like chicken, but the church members assured them that it was jackfruit. Ceri claims it was the most chickeny jackfruit she’s ever tasted…

Once again, they crossed the little swinging bridge and went back on the narrow road, honking all the way. They stopped by Melody and Buddy’s site and also Jonathan Sharley’s site. Then their driver took them to the top of a hill where they were able to watch a gorgeous sunset and sing and pray together.

After stopping by a restaurant for some lychee juice, they arrived back at the hotel. After hearing of their day’s adventures, we all wished we could have spent Sabbath with Ceri, Sharon, and David Chang!
