The Hineses say that, even though the language was foreign, they gained much from the worship services. Outlines, in English, were provided for them to follow along, and the music was familiar. When asked to narrow down their trip for the most memorable experience, Lonnie and Jean found difficulty. Everything was so important that to pick out one would do an injustice to another.

It is amazing how well we communicated not knowing each other's language. Through sign language and body language, we were able to understand. Lonnie and Jean say that they were so touched by the open acceptance of the people. I can't believe that I could have so much love and affection for people I had never known. Lu'bos has told us that he is our son in Christ, and Kvetca, our hostess, as she hugged me to say good-bye, reminded me that we are sisters in one spirit.
