PAD 3 is Favorite Part of Your Day. In Haiti, my favorite part of the day takes place on Tuesday evening at the prayer and worship service. I know the pic isn't the best, but it was dark and people are moving and jumping and it is just hard to get a good pic with your camera waving in the air. It is amazing on Tuesday how many people walk from surrounding villages or countryside to the Church of Hope for a time of worship and prayer. They are relentless in their worship! It is SO loud in that tabernacle. There are really no words to describe or video to show how electric the atmosphere is at that service. We sing in Creole and English and I love to hear them belting out the English words. I don't know if they know what they are singing, but they shout the words as loudly as their Creole words. On this night, we even ended with a Conga Line!
PAD 4 is FUN! On Friday, we have a beach day at an amazing resort. It is so beautiful and relaxing. They have rowboats that you can take out for some snorkeling (rower included), crab and lobster straight from the water for lunch, a plethora of souvenirs, and as you can see, jet skis. Cooper wanted to ride with someone crazy so Aaron took her for a little ride. I loved hearing her screams when they took a dip or hit a wave! She had FUN! Beach day is always kind of a mix of emotions for me. You almost forget where you are with the beauty of the water, the flowers, and the facilities. But for me, it means it is my last day there and the next day I will be leaving the people and place that I love.
