The visit to Fort Dauphin had many features. Although I forgot my camera, I had an exciting experience in one of the national parks where we went to see lemurs. I saw four kinds; the first white ones took bananas in their hands out of mine. Following that visit we went up into the mountains and had a service with the newer congregation Saturday night under a large tree. In services here, the people have been very welcoming, each one shaking my hand at least once. The peace is sung in a circle holding hands. Many times during both the Saturday evening and Sunday morning services, I deeply wished that all of you could have seen what I was seeing. I left Fort Dauphin with a new brother in Christ and a deepened understanding of how love and respect transcend language. The pictures below were taken during and after the Sunday morning service in the more established of the two churches.
In Christ,
Fr. Howard
