Sunday - January 28th

It was a typical Sunday morning breakfast, scrambled eggs, seventy degrees and sunny. 

We then had an opportunity to worship with the congregation we are serving.  Another typical worship service of robust singing, movement and percussion.  It was also a typical two hour worship service.  What wasn't typical for this congregation was the six foot tall white men that joined the service. We were welcomed warmly and enjoyed the vastly different style of worship.

After a typical round of rice, beans, avocados, and stewed chicken for dinner, we headed off to Playas Salinas beach.  We enjoyed some time of combing the beach for shells, relaxing and taking in the sunshine and
showers.  We were also able to check out a salt harvesting operation, Minas de Sal.

We enjoyed another round of beans, rice, avocados, and stewed chicken topped off with coffee for our evening meal. After words, Duane filled us in on the Christian Reformed church's involvement in the Dominican Republic.  Ice cream may have been a part of our evening, but we can neither confirm nor deny that fact.
