Dios es Amor

Sunday we were planning on going to the Spanish speaking church Berea and then English speaking church after again. However, the couple which are in charge of VIAs, which stands for Volunteers in Action which is what we are, asked us to go to their church with them and out to lunch. Their church was a lot different than some we have already attended. There were no words so worshiping along with them was a little difficult. The church has a pastor that is slowly giving his position to a younger pastor. The younger pastor spoke for a long time and then the pastor gave the same sermon over again. The couple we went with agreed that the older pastor was a bit off on his interpretation of the Bible. On the verse about multiplying in numbers and filling the earth he stated that it was a sin to stay single and it was a sin to have any less than 4 kids. The funny part is he has four kids and our friends think that is likely where the number came from.

After church we went to Don Miguels for lunch. It is a very popular restaurant and very nice. They start to cook your meat on the grill but then they put it on a tiny grill and bring it to your table so you can decide how done it gets. It was a really fun restaurant. They told us about a restaurant called the monks where all the waiters where brown robes and chant. They said the atmosphere is actually very serious but when they went their group couldn't stop laughing.
The rest of the afternoon we just relaxed and read and stayed inside--it was very cold again.
