Chapter 9
This chapter goes into detail about the Amish church and religion. Although they were unsure about fitting in, the Brende’s decided to attend their first service. I don’t know if the service just felt long because it was a long boring chapter or if the service actually took all day. I almost fell asleep reading about the author and everyone else desperately trying to stay awake during church. The best and most valuable part of chapter 9 is when Mrs. Brende figures out that the reason the Amish dress the way they do is for the sake of others and not for social reasons. I found this extremely interesting and from then on she felt it was easier to get along with the other women.

I think the service was meant to be boring since everyone was just used to falling asleep...not realy sure why that is.
I also liked they were so considrate of other people's feelings by dressing so that everyone would feel comfortable with their body type.
i think that the boringness of church transcended through the book and got you a little tired.
I sense that it was both. The chapter talked about the chuch too much and it was very boring.
