Sunday we woke up very early to take a local bus two hours up the mountain to a village church. My dad keeps commenting, "It feels like we are in Romancing the Stone! There were chickens on our bus, but instead of being on top they were inside the bus. One even sat behind me!"
The people in the village church were so welcoming and friendly. They smiled so big and shook our hands many times. Mom and Dad were so generous and gracious to experience this new culture--the whole service was in another language.
Look at Dad mingling with all the locals! It was so fun to share in worship with our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world.
I love this picture with Dad and this little girl. They are all watching a cultural dance and worshiping God on native instruments. What great fellowship we had!
See if you can spot the foreigners in this picture! What a wonderful day of learning about what God is doing in the mountain. Mom and Dad learned all kinds of things about literacy, translation, and culture. Praise the Lord for bringing us back safely down the mountain for a much-needed rest.
