A couple of my friends from the English Club have surprised me this past month with a couple of excursions to places that would make me happy because they have to do with my bachelor's degrees. Most people here know me for theology, since that is all I have taught so far. However, I have a bachelor of science degree in forestry and a bachelor of arts degree in geology with both of them emphasizing hydrology.
The first trip was with my friends Malonga & Angello. They are friends with a family here in the town of Beni that have their own private estate with a park in it! It was amazing - check out my flickr photo site for some great pictures. It was just good to walk around the grounds looking at the flowers, to relax on a tree stump and talk and to just be surrounded by the beauty of nature! Plus, the family told me that I can come visit any time I want!
The second trip was with one of my students from English Club, Marveix. He wanted to take me to greet his parents and he just happens to live next to one of Beni's hydrology plants. So, he organized a tour for me with the plant managers. The picture above is me sitting at the reservoir.
The month of June truly has been about making true friends who want to share life with me and get to know me on a deeper level. All of this has given me even more blessings and life lessons than I could imagine!
