From 26. To the 28. August 2022 the students and staff of Yapentra visited Lake Toba
Thanks to the team of “Sopo Agape” Yapentra was able to visit their Hotel close to Tomok, at the shores of Lake Toba. We left Yapentra early on Friday morning – with 4 busses. 3 busses were for the students and the staff with their families, one bus contained all luggage. In total we were 150 people for the trip.
The great kitchen staff provided for food, drinks at snacks for all of our time at Lake Toba. Also, during most of the time a keyboard and microphones were put up. So, we enjoyed a lot of karaoke. For Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner everyone gathered in the dining room and all of us ate together.
The busses took all of us to Parapat, were a ferry brought us directly to “Sopo Agape.” After arriving there, almost everyone went for a swim at the lake – it was great fun! In the evening we played a fun game of guessing the names of songs. The students got very excited about it and played with a lot of enthusiasm.
Saturday, after breakfast, we went to the city of Tomok to visit the markets. Also, on one square we met the wooden figure “Sigale Gale” and danced the traditional Tortor Batak dance. Especially the students really enjoyed strolling through the souvenir markets and look for souvenirs, that they like. After lunch, we played different games – some of them in the water. The students as well as the staff and some family members were part of the games. One game, which was particularly funny, was a game, when we had to fill plates with water and pass the water through different plates into a big bucket at the end of the row, while sitting in the water. Sometimes we were not particularly successful, but everyone still enjoyed the game a lot.
In the afternoon, the farewell ceremony as well as the birthday celebration of Bapak Hutasoit, who will retire soon, took place. It was a nice ceremony with a lot of kind words and emotions. Then, after dinner, originally a campfire was planned. But due to heavy rains, we had to change plans and play in the dining room, instead of around the fire – we still enjoyed our time and different snacks.
On Sunday, it was unfortunately already time to leave “Sopo Agape.” We enjoyed our breakfast together, had our Sunday service and went for a last swim in the lake. Then, after lunch, we boarded the ferry and afterwards the busses and returned to Yapentra, where we arrived in the evening.
The trip was filled with a lot of joy and laughter. Everyone had a wonderful time at Lake Toba.
