Another day in
Haiti has come to a satisfying end.
A Haitian church service is an experience never forgotten.
Listening to Sunday school as you get ready for the service gets your day off to a great start.
Haitians have a love for music that knows no bounds.
Not understanding the songs can be a little disheartening but recognizing the music inspires you to sing along.
Having a pastor from a group preach the sermon made me breathe a sigh of relief because I would be able to understand at least part of the service.
Almost immediately after the service we went to the dam for my baptism.
Being baptized in Haiti will be a life long memory I can always look back on with great fondness. As we made our way to the river, the local congregation sang songs for us. What a wonderful experience this has become.
Going from such uplifting moments to depressing sights, our crew went on a ride through Port-au-Prince to see the destruction left by the earthquake. We were able to see the presidential palace and a few of the buildings that were turned into rubble. 
Between the highs and lows of our day, our hosts have kept us fed with great food. All in all I would say that we have received many blessings and made some great memories!
