Saturday may have been a run-of-the-mill, routine day for you. But for 30 young people in Remedios it was awesome. The bomb. We all headed out to a cays one hour north of Remedios for a very special day.
Now, you have to realize that the cays in Cuba are like their national treasure. Virginal, pristine beaches; white powdery sand; crystalline water. A prized place to go; kind of like Disneyland, but in nature.

There are no words to describe the intensity of that day. But we can say that it left an indelible imprint on their lives.
“A magnificent experience that brought us joy and is an example of how God does incredible things in our lives.” -Daisel
“It was fun and edifying. A time to share together like a great family.” - Gladys
“It was one of the best days of my life, an unforgettable trip.” - Yileidy
“Hope that one day you will also be able to share an experience like this with us.” - Ivelise
“If this was awesome, I cannot even imagine the joy we will experience in heaven.” -Yaisel P
It reminds us of Psalm 133 which, paraphrased, says:
“How beautiful and pleasing to see our brothers and sisters living together in harmony. It is as pleasing as the sweet perfume of anointing oil as it spills from head to toe. It is as pleasing as a northern rain that falls from the highest peaks and runs down its slopes. Those who live like this, God blesses with life forevermore.”
-Yaisel Lima (Youth Pastor in Remedios) and Oscar
