Day 4
Most of the crew went up to the village of Los Algadones this morning to visit with some of the elderly again and deliver some of the food and charcoal we'd promised them from wednesday. Ms. Debbie again provided us with an excellent lunch back at their house and we set off for the ocean in the afternoon.
At the beach, Lucas, Bryson and Tyler tried their sea legs at surfing, which proved much more difficult than portrayed on TV. After a couple hours we retired back to the house to prepare for the night's teaching. Ms. Debbie again raised the bar with her cooking and we headed to class.
Lucas taught on the Rich man and Lazarus and KV taught the second hour on the Persistent Widow and Tax Collector & Pharisee. Unlike the night before, where Kennon and Roosevelt had to shout over the pounding rain storm (which lasted almost exactly the duration of his talk), tonight we were able to overcome the noise of the rain on the tin roof without shouting. It was again encouraging to see all the Haitian students actively engaged in the talks as we knew most had worked long hours and likely walked to class.
The team was able to relax after a great night of ministry amid a gentle soothing rain with Luke and KV prevailing in a friendly poker game on Bill and Debbie's back porch. All is well in the DR.
