Worshiping WITH the people IS great. It helps you connect with them and understand them but when you're at a place where you don't understand everything you're not growing spiritually. After being in another country, away from your leaders for almost a year you can start to feel a little dry and dusty. If you're always giving it's equally important to get. Attending a church service where you understand everything that is said allows for growth.
You also have to be cautious not to fall in love with the tradition of things. Because I didn't see traditional Haitian practices at this other church I had found it distasteful. I later learned that there are quite a few Haitians that attended that other church too and there were other services held in Kreyol during the week.
Thanks Daddy for helping me see things a different way!
