This weekend I went to church with my host family. Last weekend it was an hour long, but this weekend it was 2 hours long. Apparently the last Sunday of the month they have an hour preaching session and then an hour of mass, I didn´t realize I signed up for 2 hours of church going in so I was a little confused. Last weekend they sang the song that goes ¨Everything I had I left by the sand there…close to you…I will find other seas¨…It was in Spanish, but at least I recognized the tune, it made me smile. There are a lot of women that go to church and everyone sings out really loud. It is really neat that there are not as many people as church at home, but the singing is so much louder. There is this little old lady at church too that doesn´t have any shoes and can barely see, but she always is really sweet, it makes me smile because she doesn´t have a lot and can barely see but she still is sweet and smiles. This weekend there was a dog running lose in the church too. It really makes me have an appreciation for church at home that I can actually understand what the priest is talking about and I am looking forward to being able to sing along with songs again at home.
This week we are supposed to be getting 2 more volunteers at the Solar Center, so I am kind of excited for more people to come.
Have a good week and a happy 4th of July…enjoy the fireworks for me!

Got something to say?
Oh yes… the singing, the dogs, the birds… being white and a foot taller than everyone in the room– You never thought Church could be such an experience, did you?!
Just want to let you know I’m thinking about you guys! Keep up the good work!
