Relaxing Day

Most people attended church this morning in a language they understood, singing songs they knew and greeting people they were familiar with. Not so for me. That doesn't take away any of the beauty at the church service this morning. You could see God's glory shining through the faces of the praise band members and I was truely reminded that God's love and power have to limits or barriers. As Mitzi said, love is the universal language. It was fun though, we recognized one song in church and sang along, in English.

This afternoon we got to explore downtown Matagalpa. It reminded me of downtown El Paso. Execpt there were brighter colors, smaller buildings and it didn't have that "American" flavor. Still, the similarties are amazing. People are people, no matter how small. Or tall. Or far. Or different. Thanks Dr. Suess. :)

I have to admit though, I feel guilty. Its been a beautiful, eye opening day, but we have yet to do anything! I can't wait for tomorrow. I can't wait to get my hands dirty, so walk with the people of San Jose and to play with the kids.
