Happy Resurrection Sunday!

The students had a more leisurely morning for Easter, but we started the day out already celebrating the resurrection of our Savior by having a delicious Wrangler’s Breakfast on the lawn. After stuffing ourselves, we gathered for an Easter service, one that I am sure that the students will remember. There is nothing like singing praises to our King while sitting under the coconut trees, by the ocean!

Michael spoke on why the four Gospels seem to give a different account on who went to the tomb the morning Jesus rose from the grave. We learned that the Gospels all give a different portrait, focusing on a different point in each book, like how an artist notices different things about a painting. So once again, we were shown that this is not an error in the Bible.  

After the service, the students enjoyed some down time, which most of them spent in the pool, before getting back to work classifying or heading out to excursions. And the Lord greatly blessed one group who came upon a group of about 15 manatees, and they even got to snorkel with them. It was a once in a lifetime experience for sure!

Tonight was the lecture on marine botany and the alternation of generations, given by Michael. It is always a long lecture, but we rewarded the kids with fry bread at the end!

Tomorrow is our rescheduled day for the reef. Pray that the winds will be calm, visibility will be clear, and that none of the kids would get seasick!
