Day 1 - Part 2

(Posted by Erin Francis)

Hey Guys!
So after our exciting radio debut yesterday we came back to the house and had a short nap/ relaxation time. It was nice for me because my throat wasn't feeling the best so rest was a great option.
After our nap time was probably the most inspiring time out of the whole day yesterday. We all got up, put on some smiles and went to do some home visits. The Pastor of a local church, Pastor Edvard, located some people in the community that have been struggling lately. Many of the homes were very small and cramped, made out of cement. The floors were straight cement and the homes were crowded. The families were somewhat shy to let us into their homes. But the hearts of the people we visited were beautiful. When we arrived at a home we would introduce ourselves, sing a song, read Scripture and then pray for the people. The response of one lady in particular was very inspiring to me. She seemed so moved by our words and prayers. She would sway and say "Yes Jesus" during prayer and songs. These home visits remind me that we are here for a purpose. That purpose is simply to please God and to share his word. In my opinion we are doing a pretty good job of it so far. It's amazing all of the doors that God has opened up for us so far, and that was only the first day of missions.

After the home visits we had a small birthday party for Bekah at a restaurant. They served us cake and other treats and it was really cute how Kekette's family loved on Bekah. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEKAH :)

Singing at the revival 

 Next we went to a Creole Church service. The service was so different. When we walked in all the men and women were standing with their hands up and singing. It was so loud in there. People were dancing as they sang and it was awesome. We could not help but dance and clap along. After a while of this exciting dancing and singing we were blessed by scripture reading and prayer in Creole. Then Paster Hausler gave the message and I bet you can guess what language he spoke in... yep Creole. It was hard not being able to really understand what he was saying, but it was still inspiring to see how the people were listening.

That about wraps up the day. We just went back to the house, presented some gifts to Kekette's family and had some prayer time. Then we hit the sleep sacs and caught some z's.
