Day 25

Sunday

Sunday morning we got up and headed to church. We were asked to sing for the service so we had practiced a couple of different songs. We did "You Are Holy"which is a beautiful song that has guys lead and girls echo. Then they sing two separate parts for the chorus. It was just lovely and I hadn't heard the song in years, so I enjoyed reviving it again.

We also sang "Humble Thyself in the Sight of the Lord"that went into "Awesome God." Humble Thyself is an echo song as well, so we put a bit of a twist on it. We sang the two songs in English, then Spanish, and the third time through, the girls sang English as the guys sang Spanish. It was really neat! I think it's so cool when we can sing songs in English and Spanish because we are singing to and worshipping the same God. When we have nothing in common but our saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, it's so beautiful to me how we can still join together from completely different parts of the world and be unified. The church is most beautiful to me in this way.

After church we went to the Cine Norte plaza and got lunch in the food court. Amy, Kat & I shared a spectacular Veggie pizza from Eli's. DELISH. Then we all went shopping at the supermarket IC Norte for the week's groceries.

We got home and a few girls were going running and I went along. It reminded me how terribly out of shape I have gotten, in addition to the challenge of being at an altitude far beyond that of Florida's. After a brief bout of feeling sick, I managed to run on the way back a bit. The rest of the evening was pretty relaxed... and most likely involved the card game of the trip: Dutch Blitz. It also involved rehearsing Gospel Clown until fairly late, which we were to perform Monday morning. More on that to come!
