Attending Church

I have been attending church at "Iglesia Universitaria", which is the church at the Bolivian Evangelical University. The University was started by a missionary from WGM. Everything is in Spanish, including the songs, announcements, and sermon. There is even a dance team and a team of girls who dance with tambourines. It is quite the challenge to keep up with everything that is happening during the service, but it has allowed me to meet people my age, practice my Spanish, and experience more of the Bolivian culture. My favorite part of service is during the singing. Many of the songs that we sing are songs that would be recognized back home, the only difference is that we sing them in Spanish here. We have even sung "Creemos", which is the song "We Believe". I look forward to going to church each Sunday. The passion that the people display when they worship is contagious. 

Every year, many of the churches here in Bolivia celebrate their founding anniversary. Last weekend was the anniversary weekend at Iglesia Universitaria. The church was decorated beautifully and all of the worship leaders were dressed in their finest. We had the privilege of having a pastor and his wife come from Colombia to share with the congregation.

I so enjoy reading about your experiences. I am Amy Weston's sister, & I have a daughter serving full time in Kenya. Much of what you write brings to mind my daughter's first thoughts & impressions as she transitioned to life in another country/culture a few years ago. God brings you to mind often, Kait, & I pray for you whenever He does.
