Service in Creole

Today's adventure was embarking on a territory in the Creole speaking area. Lets just say the conditions there are unfortunately extremely... sad. I got emotional at one point.. well not just one. Went on a Bible study with 6 little children who all live with their mom in a small one room hut. They smile and speak of living in the paradise with so much hope and joy. These are kids with next to nothing. I don't even know how to describe this...Well here are some pictures. Enjoy. They should help us all really appreciate what the truth can do for peoples lives now, in these last days. Give hope to these ones of better times to come and build Faith. This DR experience is something everyone in the States should experience.

Starting off with out walk to the territory.

An elderly man fell in his home. A sis with our group was a nurse and ran to help... Its hard to see but that was well...exciting the man was over 100.
