Well this was written on Sunday, and it is now Wednesday. Internet has been spotty so my posts may come out in clumps. Sorry about that!
I returned with Fr. KK after attending the ordination of two
young men in Mirebalais. We first
stopped and ran errands in Hinche and finally arrived around 4 pm. It was good to know that I would be here for
a while. This past week I was traveling
with four other members of the Haitian Education Fund board. (To read more about that, please visit
RichmondHEF.blogpost.com.) Fr. KK told
me that there would be a concert that evening by a group called “Lafwa” meaning
Faith from Cap Haitien. All told there
were about a dozen performers who were for the most part priests. The performers included 3 guitarists, one on
drums and a keyboard player. One priest
who seemed very jovial, almost comical worked to energize the crowd. I would call the music they played rock
music, Haitian style. The jovial priest
encouraged the people at one point to stand up and dance. Many women stood up and danced, swaying back
and forth, raising their arms in praise to God.
Everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves!
