In this country their weekend are Fridays and Saturdays. The work days are from Sunday to Thursday. Friday is the church day here. It was kind of weird but I will get it to use to it. It is even more weird to start working on Sundays. But anyway, it is just a matter of adjusting to the culture.

We went to the church today. It is about 15 minutes drive. The service started at 11am. It is a pentecostal church. The sermon was great. I really appreciate the fire of the people to praise and worship God. There were about 7 people who went the first time in this church including myself. We got to stand up and introduce ourselves. Mostly we were came from different countries, there was one came from sudan, philippines, norway, england, nigeria, ethiopia and I forgot the others. It was fun.

I was very happy to meet a Filipino there who is part of the worship team. He told me that there were many Filipino people in the church and will have separate worship service after the service we attended. He invited me to attend but I told him I will attend next week because I was with other staff and I need to go and ride the the car with them. Of course, I do not know yet how to get to our staff house if ever I attend. That was very exciting. I look forward to attending that service. I got to meet some American people that my area coordinator was trying to connect me with. I am sad that I did not have a chance to talk to them more after church because my companion left the church right after the service.

But I am still ’shocked’ at some people’s way in this world. They steal whatever, but a Church building? This was in Russia. An Orthodox Church disappeared after being dismantled brick by brick by thieves, and sold them for 4 cents a piece. Well in a such place… but still, they would have to go through so much effort destroying a building for its brick for so cheap a price, and for the sake that it is a church..
