Today, the Lords Day we worshiped with the Haitians. We were separated into two groups. One group went to the Paradis Church, while the other group went to worship at Caceusse Church. The members that went to the Caceusse Church experienced something a little unusual. Chickens, yes chickens, strutted across the pulpit and down the aisle, with a stop everyone once in a while to eat some ants. The second group went to the Paradis Church. This service included communion and a baby dedication. Both teams had a translator for part of the service. Both services were approximately 2 and a half hours. These services were held under tarp-tent structures.
After worship time we drove to a seaside place called Sunnybel Beach. There was plenty of time to wade in the warm waters of Haiti. One of our team members purchased some cooked conch meat from a boat vendor. It was a little tough and the sauce on it was quite spicy. The boat had it's own grill and a bottle was used as the cash box. There was a pleasant ocean breeze. There was a restaurant that served us a buffet meal of fried chicken.
A tidbit or two: Our guest house does not have a water heater. We have power for a limited time during the day; a few hours in the morning and from six o'clock in the evening to about eight thirty and then the generator kicks in. We use limited lights so that we don't use up our battery power. A nice bonus is all the stars that are visible at night.
The day started with Christian singing a song for us which he had written.
