Hello again! Today we went to church at a local Haitian church. This is the church that is hosting our conferences this week and this is most likely where the DR Downline will be meeting next year.
We also got a chance to go and visit Roosevelt's (our translator) home, as well as some of the villagers and this year's Downline students homes. The children were so happy to see us and led us through the village as we went along.
We went to visit a Dominican church tonight. The atmosphere is quite a bit different from the Haitian church we visited this morning. Lots of singing and praise!
The children were amazing and loved all over us....and we loved back!
The church service this morning was great! It was very different than a service in the states. The people are so passionate as they sing. Bill got up and spoke briefly about what we will be doing this week at the conference. Then Steve preached a message about Jesus making fishers of men. Finally, the local pastor spoke about 2 Samuel.
Roosevelt's sister-in-law lives with he and his wife. She makes these baskets out of wrappers and she's working on one here.

Another shot of the local children laughing and high-fiving with Mamie. The home in the middle was so colorful I just had to include it. On the bottom right, Bill visits with one of this year's Downline students. We will be seeing her this week at class.
