Ok, this may be a long one... I had a GREAT weekend!!
I'll start out with Friday night...
I left at 9pm (yeah, really late for me!!) to go to Iglesia, as we had a late-night prayer/fellowship at church. We had a wonderful time of praying for each other, expressing our thanks to God, sharing testimonies, and singing. And eating, of course. :-) It was really great to be in a close community of believers who love each other and love the Lord! Hearing people's stories of how they came to the Lord was really cool, I can't picture some of them how they said they used to be... We wrapped things up about 2:30am. Nora (who had already gone home) called and invited us all to her brother Noe's house for his birthday party. A 3am birthday party - that's a new one for me. I didn't end up going, but I heard it was fun!
Saturday morning, I passed at going to the Iglesias de Cristo de Oregon volleyball tournament, and went to Lincoln City for shopping with my parents. I was able to get some necesary items of clothing, mainly new jeans as I doubt I'll really be able to find long-enough pants in Mexico. I also hit a gold mine at Old Navy as far a Christmas gifts go - I got $3 shirts for my brothers and Vivian (they're new shirts, and not some cheapy kind, just on really big sale!) It was a good day, but I sure was tired that afternoon - my body is more used to gettig UP at 3am than going to bed then...
Sunday, I taught the 3&4th grade sunday school class at S.S. Nazarene - all boys in that class. It went pretty well, all things considered. I don't like to come across as an old nag teacher, but I can't say that the boys like to pay attention, especially since one of them just returned fromf being gone for a month!
After morning service, I went to Iglesia. Eliezar, a young guy who had come to the friday night thing, accepted the Lord yesterday! So that was really cool!!! I pray that it is not something done just to be done, but something that he will live out for the rest of his life.
We all went to Mixteca after church for some good home-cookin's Mexican-style.
I went home for like an hour, just barely enough time to see the first maybe 10 minutes to 49ers V. Cardinals at, yes, ESTADIO AZTECA Mexico City! Rad! I never knew that there were even 103,000 people in Mexico who gave a crap about American Football! I have a goal to go to Azteca sometime in the next two years or so - hopefully to see the Chivas MUTILATE America in Liga Mejicana soccer (America is a Mexican soccer team). Although I'd definitely jump at the chance to see NFL there too!! Anyhow, after the 49ers DEFENSE (!!!!!!!) scored two touchdowns in the first quarter (I left after that, assuming a win) the Cards came back to win.... not sure how that happened, but bummer.
Also in sports, I told Beto yesterday that I ALWAYS root for Brasil in all world soccer competitions, which didn't go over well - Mexico and Brasil were in the sub-17 world cup final yesterday - Mexico won.
So Sunday afternoon, I went to Hoover Elem. to play sports (we usually go to Bush park, but uh, not since it started raining...) As soon as I shut my car door, I realized my keys were sitting on the driver side seat, IN the locked car. I had my mom's car, and after a few minutes of trying to open the door or window, the guys who were working on that decided that I either needed to call my dad or a locksmith. The locksmith sounded pretty good right about then - my dad seems to flip out when stupid things like this happen. But I called anyway, and mom came and got the situacion under control. We played basketball, watched the kids play futbol, and had out regular 10 or so volleyball matchups! So fun! I didn't get to bed till late, so I'm going down for a nap...
If you read all this - wow, you have too much time on your hands!! But I suppose that means I do to, because I WROTE it! haha!
