Hi everybody!
We are settling into the jungle now. Today we went to Tena and Mishualli grocery shopping. We got everything we’ll need for about 3 weeks.
Then Mr. Roberto and Junior took us in the jungle to try some fruit that grow here. There was Cocoa, we cracked the shell against a tree and sucked on the sweet, gooey coating of the cocoa bean. Inside it was purple and bitter. There was also a fruit that was bigger than a grapefruit and spiky -like a puffer fish. Once you peel it, its mushy and slimy. But its really good. Tastes like bread pudding. It grows very high up on trees though.
Then we went to the Mishualli river. It was sort of muddy and there were people in a long bright boat, too. The water was cold but Elijah, Robby and Junior got in and played and swam. It was really nice.
For supper we had pizza and salad with the Davalos’. After that we played at their house. And tonight we played Yahtzee!. Tomorrow we are going to worship and relax with the Davalos family.
Blessings,
Madeline Studebaker
