Our time at church

In front of the church:


Oh LORD Jehova, I have heard your word and I fear you.

Here is Krystle and I with our friends Caleb and Jerlyn.



It’s interesting. We met a group of youth/young adults who attend church 4 to 5 times a week. They have services at night on all weekdays, a Saturday night service, and a Sunday morning service. They are getting some serious bible study in, as each service is on a different topic or even focus as some nights its all prayer or singing/worship. These services usually go for 2 hours total! Worship is involved, as well as brief socializing, while the majority of the time is taken up with the preaching! One Tuesday night, the pastor spent 1 ½ preaching on Nehemiah! It’s been super enjoyable practicing our listening skills with a topic that interests us, as well as leaving us dumbfounded at time because we didn't understand a joke or the context of something said! The people in the church have been extremely welcoming and often want to speak to us in Spanish and even test their English skills.

A running joke between most of them is to say that "Jose here speaks great English". When in reality he does not or is too shy to practice or say anything. It's been eyeopening to learn the cultural inferences and jokes that are prevalent between the youth. Makes me feel right at home!
