Church in Haiti!

     Church here in Haiti is a little bit different than in the States.

     The one of the biggest differences is that the service is in Creole, so it's difficult (if not impossible) for some of us to understand what is being said!

     Usually the service starts with singing. That continues for about thirty minutes, until the preacher comes up and preaches a sermon. Once he's done, there's more singing and maybe another message; sometimes people share songs or testimonies during that time. The service usually concludes with another Haitian brother coming up and giving some closing thoughts. Then there is one more song and the service concludes.

Some people would rather ride than walk...
That's what the Gator is for :)

The decorations on the ceiling are from the new year service they had the week before...



On my way back home these two little girls asked if I could take their picture :)

Then it was the boys' turn :)
