Ocean

The His Little Feet choir children have been extremely interested in whales, sharks and dolphins this tour. Up until just this week, the only way for the children to see the beautiful ocean creatures were to read books and watch movies about sea life.  But this week everything changed…the team finally made it to the Pacific Ocean for the children to experience the ocean first hand.

When Mahder stepped onto the beach sand for the first time, she exclaimed, “Delicious!”

When Javier saw the whale spout far off in the distance, he said, “Seeing the whale was the one thing I wanted to see and I see it!” 

When Bereket saw a dolphin swim past, he yelled out “DOLPHIN!! I SEE DOLPHIN!!!”

Tariku explained to his host home that surfing was like roller skating on the water.

Tsion said she that when she touched the water she could feel God’s power in the waves.

The children were not so fond of the seagulls due to the fact that while everyone was playing in the waves, the seagulls swooped down and ate half of the sack lunches the team had brought. Every child wanted to be buried from their shoulders to their toes in the sand.

And, Yohannes wanted to know how many days it would take to swim to China from the California beach.

Great memories at the beach!
