I was the CAP-IE-TON Tuesday night; it was a blast!
So, I timed it; it takes me 45 minutes to walk to church! But, it is so worth it. The Iglesia de Cristo is a small church with contemporary Spanish worship. A group of women lead the worship and there are 2 acoustic guitars. When it’s time to sing-EVERYONE sings. If you are not singing loud, you are the odd ball! Singing in Spanish is so hard (but I love it). About 75 to 100 people pack into the church it’s small but beautiful. Throughout the service, the pastor will ask men or women from the congregation to lead in prayer (It reminds me of some of the churches back home, and that always makes me smile). The whole service is in Spanish, so it is perfect practice for my comprehension. (Seriously, when I leave there I am filled with so much joy!) I also connected with one of the families. Last Sunday, Antonio, his wife Lourdes, and I exchanged digits. They also helped me figure out times for the college group/youth service that meets once a week. I can’t wait to see what the Lord has in store…please pray for Iglesia de Cristo in Sevilla.

I just knew you would stay! I am SO NOT very excited for you to be away for so long. Well, maybe I will just have to come see you. Oh if only......(that would be so cool but extremely remote).

place to worship with others. That
