It is Sunday night and our mission trip is quickly coming to a close. Today, like all the other previous days, has been filled with much activity.
To start our day, we headed back to Grace Village for their Sunday morning worship which is attended by many of the same children who attend the school there. While majority of the service was in Haitian Creole, we were still able to join in the worship when songs such as Trading My Sorrows, Bless the Lord (10,000 Reasons) and Hallelujah were sung. This just goes to show you that praise and worship songs have no particular language when sung to God.
After we left the church, we began a cross country journey to the other side of Port-au-Prince. Through this journey, we came across the largest outdoor market of Port-au-Prince. From our view, we saw vendors selling everything from clothes to food. As journeyed up the mountainside, one was in awe of the vast difference in the beauty, vegetation and social class. One of the road side souvenir stops we stopped at we were able to purchase metal artwork from used oil drums, paintings and various wooden objects. Our last stop on our mountain journey was at a wayside cafe that had a wondrous view of the entire country.
