A Visit to Venezuela continued . . .

In spite of the fact that they could see the water in the distance from their house, the team had not been swimming in the month and a half since they had arrived.  Well, even missionaries need a break every now and then, so we went for the afternoon while I was there.  I'll leave the sun, water, and sand up to your imagination.

The climate in the part of Venezuela usually stays between 25 and 33 degrees Celsius.  I told their coordinator, Judi, that us Canadians need a chance to cool off every now and then!
