Sunday Service

Sunday May 31, 2009
Up early – no surprise. Today we are going to church as there is a special presentation for Reverend Doctor Fowler. She has completed her Phd degree and is being honored. We leave Summerset at 10:30 and head to the church which is right by the school. A small church made of stone – nothing fancy. Services finally start and we are all welcomed, everyone was so nice and accepting of us. The service was a little longer then what I had expected. A walk down the isle to shake hands with everyone, singing of hymens, following scripture reading, we made it through the service and after words they had a big buffet put out for the occasion. A lot of the students that we had been working with came so we got to spend a little more time with them. We headed back to Summerset and the time was around 3:30 so the service and lunch had taken up most of the day, so we went back to Summerset and relaxed before going out for a group dinner. Dwayne came and went down to Yvonne to make fish and crackers, since we were having a group dinner I had to pass but asked him to bring some back to me because I really wanted to try it he is an amazing cook. We went to a small eatery not far from us on the main road. I am about the only one on the trip eating meat so I had the fish and as always it was excellent. As we were setting there Dwayne, Pam and Cody were walking by and he dropped off a container to me – fish and crackers – when I got back to Summerset I shared them with Boomblast. It was really good to my surprise – the crackers are steamed with the fish to make them soft but they hold up somehow and you put the fish on them. I ate a few and let Boomblast finish it. We talked for awhile, and then I turned in for the night. Learning about culture by immersing yourself into another culture and being accepted by that culture to let you into their lives if just amazing. I have come to know so many people here and I am already realizing that with less then a week to go it is going to be hard to say goodbye. Yah Man!
