Just a quick update about what's going on around here. So our Security Training went really well. We all really learned a lot! Tonight we're having American worship, which I am extrememly excited about! It may sound strange that it's been about 6 weeks since I've been a part of this kind of worship! We are still having house church every Sunday morning with our congregation of 8, and every Sunday night we have corporate worship, but it's primarily in different languages. I think I can understand why it's so important for us to learn the heart language of our people groups....I can worship in Spanish, but there's really something special to worship in your own heart language! Tomorrow we are going to D.C. to try to find people from the region we'll be going to. We've already found a West Africa restaurant...which should be fun? Also, this weekend we'll be completing an assignment where we can't use electricity AND we have to cook from scratch. We are allowed to use the stove but not the oven. It should be interesting! It's so hard to believe that we have less than three weeks left here! It's all gone by so fast!
