Team Renew Day 3

Started out early this morning for church at First Baptist MEBSH. The music was definitely the highlight of the service. June located the songs in the hymnal, and we did our best to sing in the native Creole. One of the songs, "How Great Thou Art," reminded us that regardless of Country borders, we are all One in Christ. The sermon, translated by June after the service, was about the lingering political instability in the Country. The Pastor highlighted from Ps 137 and 1 James, and emphasized we are to find our joy in the Lord. Following the two hour service (June said it was the longest EVER), we packed up and headed to the beach. Our first stop included a tour of Aristide's landing strip which he used specifically for drug running; the beach next to the air strip was filled with bleached shells and stones (and a few bones!). A few photos later, and we headed off to "Dan's Creek" to swim and relax...more like the calm before the storm, as you'll see in Jenny's post for Monday. So far the general consensus is we LOVE cold showers, and wonder what all the fuss was about?!? -JoAnn
