Lunch was pleasant, in an amphitheater
where we could rest together on the clean, hard stone and watch the
dragonflies humming around our apple slices. Even simple things
brought us so much pleasure - tomato and lettuce added to our tuna
sandwiches, a little music to listen to, a shoulder massage. Each of
these gifts gave us so much joy in the Lord's provision, and much
more strength for the last of our journey.
The most challenging portion came
towards the end when one of the members of team three got his third
flat tire in the same day. His teammates went back with him to the
checkpoint in order to fix the tire together, which they did with
good humor.
They were soon rewarded for their
patience, because almost as soon as all the members arrived at this
evening's pension, the support team shuttled them over to a
restaurant for a delicious dinner of samgyupsal. The team grew
happier and happier as they grilled their dinner, some sitting with
old friends and some with relative strangers, but all part of the
family of Christ. It was a satisfying last dinner to share as a
team, and one our return to the pension we also shared a last worship
and prayer time.
