Day 4 of our trip ! Adventure time!!!

Today's experience was quite adventurous! Of course, since it's Sunday, we went to church. We didn't go to the church in the compound, i am not exactly sure why.. but i DO know that Lauren, and I know exactly what the songs would have sounded like this morning in that service ! The ONE day we did not have to get up at the crack of dawn to do something absolutely different, we were both awoken by the Haitians worship practice. Although their voices are amazing, and beautiful beyond compare, we didn't exactly care for them starting at 6am extremely loud, and practically in our window. lol. 
So today's morning service was unusual to us. Mostly spoken in their language, a ton of singing, and dreadfully HOT. (that is,of course, to be expected.)  We did hear the Haitian children sing a few songs, and the church as a whole though. The not-so-unusal part of todays church trip, was the fact that we had to travel about 15 minutes to get there, whereas we would've traveled two seconds (in walking) to get to the church in the compound. haha. Donald ended up preaching today, which was really nice. He read from Ezekiel chapter 37 talking about how we need to trust in God, and his unimaginable ability to do things we never think are capable. However, we have to trust and follow Him no matter how crazy the idea sounds. (Even if it's waking up dead and dry bones hahahaha) I encourage you guys to all read and look into the first couple verses, and think about what i just said. 
After service, we were thanked with hugs and hand shakes for visiting. We, then, came back to the compound and changed into our bum clothes to prepare for lunch, and an outing to Port au Prince (i believe that's how you spell it..) There we saw some intense devastation that pictures cannot even BEGIN to explain. We stopped at a few street shops to buy gifts and items for relatives, friends, and our own selves. Billy and Lauren learned to break down the prices at the markets. Billy does it so often, that he does it to the people he doesn't even want things from. hahaha ! 

After being out, we came home and Emily, Sydney, and I goofed off and relaxed after that long, sweaty outing. A little boy that we all often see in the compound somehow got cut under the right eye. Em and I both bandaged him up and Hannah gave him a banana to calm his nerves (:  We watch Hannah, also get tickled to death while getting a pedicure from the Haitian girl. Hilarious. but we ate, then Billy, Kevin, Josh, Emily, Sydney, and Me all went down on the basketball court and played ninja !! greatest, most time consuming game EVEERRRR ! lol. After that i was called to do this blog, and now our group and a few of the compound boys are heading up to the cross for a worship sesh again! I love worshiping at night, best time to do it! Marck says he loves Blessed Be Your Name, and anyone who knows our church and attends it , knows we love us some Jesus dancin music !! :D
