Today had a change of plans. We were scheduled to go to the coral reef today with Captain Hook's but we woke up to some high winds this morning, and so we rescheduled the excursion to Monday. We are very thankful that the staff at Captain Hook's is always accommodating and more than happy to help us find the best day of weather to take our group out. We are praying that day the seas will be calmer! 

So instead, we enjoyed a delicious Lumberjack breakfast (pancakes and bacon) and after our lecture on marine worms this morning, the habitat groups worked on classifying more organisms and set out for some excursions. 

The question for tonight's Bible Session was "If Jesus was crucified on Friday and then rose on Sunday morning, how could that be considered three days and nights?" Michael instructed the kids on how the ancient Hebrew culture was very different to how we tell time today. Three days and three nights in this culture did not mean 72 hours, and it was actually likely that Jesus was dead for about 36 hours instead, which would line up perfectly with the timescale the Bible gives us with the crucifixion on a Friday and He rose on a Sunday. The students learned the Hebrew word "onah" which is how the Hebrews measured their days. In conclusion, we can't take modern time and trying to fit it in ancient culture.

The evening then wrapped up with volleyball, microscopic labs, and more classifying! The habitat groups are getting to know each other quite well and there has been a lot of laughter! Now off to bed for a good night's rest and looking forward to Easter Sunday!
