But the body must also be nourished and that is a little different than we recieve in Kansas or Nebraska. Each morning as a team we prepare breakfast in the kitchen of the Christian Zone at about 7:30 a.m. The usual is oatmeal with milk, yogurt and raisins accompanied by toast with peanut butter and jelly. On special days we also have banana bread purchased from 7-Eleven (a favorite of ours as well as the Interns). 7-Eleven cannot seem to keep enough on the shelves for all of us.
After about 3 hours of reading we are ready for lunch. There are several street side restaurants very near the Christian Zone. We many times invite our readers to join us for meals. Most every meal is put on top of white or sticky rice or noodles of some kind. The above is chicken (Guy) over rice with a sweet sour sauce. Very tasty.
As reading sessions end at about 8 p.m. the team is ready for more physical nourishment. Vendors are nearby with a variety of foods that can be purchased. The fruit is great. This vendor is doing her best to teach us the names of our favorite fruits. There are a variety of fried meats, grilled meat on a stick, fruit beverages, pancakes, etc. We find that our $8/day/person is plenty to feed us. We have managed to stay well and well fed, as well as spoiled for not needing to do much work in the kitchen.
what a great experience you are having. Be sure to drink as many fresh mango and pineapple smoothies as you can. I couldn't get enough when I was there. I send you my love and I am so grateful for what you are doing to serve the Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
