We went to the First Baptist Church at 9:30 with our little entourage of children. We were amazed at all the white people, but were warmly welcomed and a white lady led us to our SS Class. Surprisingly, her husband was the teacher. In fact, all the leaders and teachers and pianist and set-up crew were white. At only 2.5 years old, and a church plant from a 17,000-member church in Chicago, I guess they have not developed any indigenous leaders yet. Sunday School and church messages were both basic salvation fare, suitable for new believers and first timers. Songs were good old hymns from the All American Hymn Book. It was nice to hear a congregation singing harmony.
We heard thunder about 6 o’clock and dashed to the kitchen to make dinner before the lights went out. We returned to our room with our plates and the lights went out. We had another romantic ‘glow of the laptop’ dinner. Lightning struck not ½ a second away and the thunder was startling. I went out to the porch to see a real tropical rainstorm. The wind was blowing sheets of rain straight sideways. It was awesome! The lights are back on. This year has been much better than last year.
OOPS, the lights went out and stayed out all night and are still not on at 9 AM. Oh well!
