Sweating it out

A new day in Haiti: 

This morning had a wonderful start, as all the guys woke up an hour too early because none of us realized that we now had a new difference in time zones. This we did not realize until we started questioning where breakfast was and why the girls were so late to get up. It truly is a new experience being covered in sweat from the moment you wake up throughout the day and into the night. As we (Taylor, Zach, and Aaron) are writing this in fact there is sweat beading and and running down every part of our bodies (totally gross). Church in a new culture is something that is always interesting, this one in particular because it was 2 1/2 hours long, we were all seated on the stage, it's very loud, we couldn't understand 90% of it, oh and if you didn't figure already it was extremely HOT (We're talking 100 degrees plus in this building people) which was rubbed in by the fact that while we were sitting there sweating like crazy the Haitian people were in suits dancing around without a drop of sweat on their faces.

 Aaron, Zach and Scott went to get some mangos from the massive tree near the church afterward. Our failed attempts quickly resulted in a Haitian coming with a huge pole to get mangos for us! It was fun to try to catch falling mangos, because this time we were actually expecting them to come down as they randomly came close to falling on us throughout the day. Something that is noticeably different is that the whole team has a lot less sense of time partially because we don't have our phones on us and partially because it is a part of the culture. The main thing for today was that we started our equip training. In case you forgot, equip is evangelism training. The translators are great and really help the process go smoothly. We covered the KISS (Know/Intercede Spur/Serve) part of equip. Some of us taught outside and some inside for small groups.  

Tomorrow we will be finishing up the confrnice will have all of the kids making bracelets and talking about sharing the gospel with non christians in the village. Then during the evening we will be watching the third Narnia in french(Oh ya)! Its loud rightnow there is a 40 night pray thing going on and they sing like no tomorrow!
