(NOTE: We have had some internet connection difficulties, which is making it a challenge to update the blog and really hard to add pictures.)
Well, yesterday was a big day. Bright and early (a little after 6:00 a.m.), we drove to Barbencourt and got on mules for our two hour journey up the mountain to Bwa Dom. If there was no elevation change, it would be a three mile journey as the crow flies. With the change in elevation, it is about a 2000 foot climb. It was an absolutely beautiful morning with great visibility to...uh...see the donkey in front of you. :) Seriously, with the turn of your head, a large portion of the coastline was in view.
We arrived at Pastor Fritznel's house and were served a delicious breakfast. (By the way, Pastor Fritznel and others traveled down to bring the mules even brighter and earlier in the morning.) After breakfast, we headed to church. There was a wonderful time of praise and worship along with some special music from various church members. These Haitians really know how to worship the Lord--it was awesome.
Nate gave a brief message, which encouraged all of us to be the true body of Christ. In response, we spent time praying with each other. This included praying for those that were sick as well having all of the children gather for us to pray for. Finally, most of us traveled further up the moutain to visit five people who were sick and needed prayer. After lunch, we headed back down the mountain. It was a day to remember for all of us.
