Our day started off with a relaxing breakfast. We then attended church service which was very interesting. The harmony of the attenders singing was wonderful. Most of the attendees shook our hands as they left. It was pretty cool! We then went into Port Au Prince. That was quite an experience! Not only the traffic, but the city condition are really indescribable. According to the people here at the compound, it was pretty much like that before the earthquake but with less tents. We stopped 3 times to shop a bit. EVERYONE wants you to buy their stuff and there are only a few of us. We then had a great devotional with discussions. We all are currently relaxing; talking, playing cards, hiking to the cross. Another great day. Tomorrow we start on projects again around the compound.
Jen and Joe, I forgot to mention yesterday that we met Nota (no-tah). :) She was also at church service this AM.
For those that know Rusty...we have to share some "Rusty-ism" from last night and today. Last night he introduced us to "culture-y" and added to it with "culture-y diversification" that was followed with "ging-ging". For the rest of that, he meant ginsing! Tonight's "Rusty-ism" for tonight so far is 4H-y and cinnamon-y. If any others are expressed after my blogging, I'll let you know tomorrow! :)
Good night all!!

Good to hear from you, Sperry team. Did they get the water heater fixed?? Good luck as you work this week, representing all of us back here! We might get a little snow/rain this week. Thought that would make you feel good!!!! Linda Jones
ReplyDeleteYay! You met Nota! She was really sweet :) I bet the service was an experience! It makes it more interesting when you have that language barrier! Hope today goes well!! Be safe! Can't wait to share stories when you return!!

Happy for the news that you are there safely! Looking forward to reading more of your posts this week! I love experiencing worship service in another country. God is the same here and there. Having that in common makes for a much deeper spiritual connection while you are there!
