Sunday
Today was a lazy day! My outreach group was in charge of the Sunday church service which was so incredible even though it lacked in planning! Haha The guy in our group sang a few songs while playing the guitar and in between songs we read verses. I read from Psalms about worshipping God and praising his name! Then 2 of the girls shared their testimony (I was going to but I have to share mine this coming Thursday...ON MY DAD'S BIRTHDAY! (Such a God moment =] ) and so some other girls offered to do it) and afterwards we did a skit called 'Cardboard Testimonies'. We write a struggle we have been having on one side of the cardboard and we all slowly line up and then we flip them over to what God has done to take away the struggles...oh and music is playing in the background during this time cause there aren't any words to it since they would have to be in Spanish for the churches we go to! After church I took an hour nap and hung out with everyone. A girl was getting dreads (sp?) put into her hair which was interesting to see =P. Wasn't a productive day at all but it felt soo nice to just relax and not have any chores or commitments!
PS the shoe guy never showed up to church =[ but I will continue to pray for him!
Monday
New lectures and New speakers today!! Joe's brother, Paul, is one of our speakers this week. He is talking about the book of Nehemiah so it will be neat to focus in on one book of the Bible instead of the whole thing like we did last week. Also we are watching a video series by Ian Thomas called 'Reviving Christ' or something =P. He is a great speaker and really funny...even if it is just on video. It is freezing here! I have never realized how much I took central heating for granted haha. You are constantly cold here! Drinking tea,coffee and hot chocolate is a huge deal here =p.
Lunch was soo good! I cannot get over how great the food is here. It was rice with a chili type soup which warmed us all up! I have thirds of everything =].
During my break I ended up playing a game of ping pong with Joe's son, Joshua (he is 16 and is the boys RA)...he beat me 21-12 haha but I did play a good game! Then this one girl decided to put on a puppet show which was hilarious! And now I am here, blogging! I decided not to take Spanish lessons here because I figured I just want to know the common phrases and get a good understanding of that and chances are when I go home everything will just fly out of my head since no one else will be speaking Spanish there! Haha It will also give me more time to spend in God's word or in fellowship. I will be working through my phrase book though on my own time! =P
So far, Good day =]
