HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERIC
There are few things more exciting then an African church gettin their praise on. Last night we went to "Gospel Night" at the church I've been attending here, Robert Street Baptist. It was SO much fun. It started out with some rather interesting choral parts, let's just say they should stick to what they're good at. Then they had a time of real gospel music. Everyone was hollerin, dancing, singin at the top of their lungs. The energy was like that of a youth event at home, not a service in our sanctuary. I think that the American church could learn a lot about what praising God in church can really look like. This little paragraph doesn't do it justice.
I was so blessed to get to call my mom today. Eric found this little microphone/head thing that we can use to call people through the internet so I had about a 1/2 hour conversation with my mom. It was so good to hear her voice and get to ask eachother questions without having to wait days to get an answer. I told her how to make an account so that I can call her for free so soon we're going to set up a saturday that I can call and talk to my mom, dad, and sisters. I can't wait to hear their voices.
Yesterday Jer, Eric, Katie, and I did a devotion time together at 7am as well as today. this is what we hope to be able to do everyday for the rest of the time we're here. we've just been talking about how we really have an opportunity and situation here that we may never have again. we dont' want to waste anytime and leave with as few disapointments as possible. so we're doing this to challenge eachother and develope this discipline. so far i've really enjoyed it. it makes me really tired for the beginning of the day but it's worth it. we know gettin up early will suck for a while but once it's a habit, it can only be more of a blessing for us.
Today is Eric's 21st birthday so tonight we're going to Mombo Point, a very western, expensive resaurant, to celebrate. We're basically going to make him get a steak b/c that was the first thing that came out of his mouth when we asked what he'd eat if he could eat anything. Now he's sayin he won't b/c it's too much money but we're not goin to let him worry about that.
Have a great week. talk to you again soon.
