Going Away Party

Today started off with church. A lady named... Cathy, I´m pretty sure... translated the sermon for me. She works for SIM and is very friendly. She invited me to go to a party for this lady from England who was leaving. The lady´s name was Caz (short for Caroline) and her parents were visiting from England. I talked to them for quite awhile which was a lot of fun. The house the party was in was really small and packed. The real fun started when everybody got out guitars. We played a bunch of worship songs, most of them oldies from the 90´s - Shout to the Lord/Ancient of Days era. They did know some Hillsong, but those were the only newish songs they had, but it was a blast. I was able to play most of what they played, but there were a couple songs I had never heard before that I had some trouble with.

This was one of the most fun worship experiences I´ve ever had. There was a guy named Calil (something like that. It sounded like Carl but wasn´t) and he showed me some new stuff I´d never played before. Sergío (older brother of the family I´m staying with) left early, but I stayed and kept playing. We probably played around twenty or twenty-five songs. I got a ride back with Fá (a girl who plays drums)and now I´m blogging.

I was actually feeling pretty down today after church, but now I´m feeling energized and refreshed. It was a good night. Now to remember all those names...
