So yesterday I was walking home from school, and I saw this guy, and he was getting into a truck… he was sort of tall, a little overweight, but looked strong. He had long dark hair pulled into a ponytail that just touched the base of neck. He was handsome, I suppose. Dressed well, with a cool scarf wrapped around his neck, and the ends were tucked into the scarf. He had this really serious look on his face, and I thought he looked like a terrorist. he was a little scary, but he reminded me of the really rich, sleazy bad guys that are high-end cocaine or arms dealers in movies. It was weird that I thought that… ha-ha, but I wasn’t scared.
So i am sitting in a restaurant that i walked all over town to find because i needed wifi.... it is hard to find because you never know what you are going to find once you walk in a door, the doors are so small but behind them are these huge, open courtyards... its wierd, like an adventure.
Yeah today is saturday, and i am going to have dinner with the Greenes (the missionaries) and their gruop, then we are off to there house till tomorrow night. i'm really excited... i don't know what we're going to do but it will be great.
I wen to a huge cathedral today, its bright yellow with white trim, really pretty, i'll have pics tomorrow. When i went in though, and was looking at the displays they had in various alcoves, one thing i noticed really wierd. There was a display, like a wax figure, of jesus carrying his cross...I didn't take a pic cuz i thought it would be innapropriate so i will try to describe it to you:
Jesus was fully dressed in red and gold robes, with a giant gold star-type headpeice. all around him was red and gold fabrics and like...plastic jewels and things....oh yeah the gold was all really cheap looking - it was super corny, and not realistic at all. i suppose its supposed to show how glorious he is, but it really just looked stuffy and religious. i didn't like it. but i love jesus :).
speaking of that, i just finished reading acts in like, 2 hours, because it was soooo thrilling! i love the holy spirit and all the things that god was doing in the church! wow...i can't even explain how different the church today is from the church then. almost every thing about it is different.
Alright i want you to see pictures, but i can't post them all here...go to my facebook at http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=513847501&ref=profile#/album.php?aid=82739&id=513847501&ref=mf
