Day 5 - Taking in Dominica's Beauty

Today was our last full day in Dominica. We began the morning with several meetings to discuss the next steps in building the basketball leagues here. We met with the President of the Olympic Committee and the Minister of Tourism and felt that much was accomplished in those meetings. The people here have been so appreciative of our help, so it's been very encouraging. After our meetings, we headed to another TV station to do one more interview about our work on the island. With only two radio stations and two TV stations, everyone on the island recognizes us and talks to us when we come around! We then took a journey to Trafalgar Falls, which was a stunning sight. Aside from my wipeout on the rocks, we had a great time adventuring around the falls. Lunch was a homemade meal from Rhoda's mother (she's a great cook) which we took up to the Fresh Water Lake, 2,789 feet above sea level. We were above the clouds and ate our meal! They had a few kayaks there, so I was able to experience my first time on a kayak and it was definitely memorable. I wish I could describe to you what the experience was like, but I'm not sure it's possible. I'll just say that it was one of the coolest things I've done and I was able to see one of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen in this cove on the lake. It's something that you need to see for yourself. We are now staying overnight near the airport in the Atlantique resort, which is owned by he president of DABA. It's high up on a mountain on the Northeast side of the island, so I'm excited to get up to watch the sunrise tomorrow! This has been an unforgettable trip, but I'm ready to get home to my girls! God is good and He is faithful. I hope to come back to this island more often as we built great relationships with the people here! Thank you for your prayers and support. I hope you enjoyed reading updates, but this is the last one for now. Until next time.
