My Day 14

Today is sunday. Like all sundays, its a relaxed day. Pui See cooked us a greek dish. Dunno what you call that. But it was quite good. We ate it with Red wine. Haa.. hope it doesn't stumble pp. Don't worry, we didn't get drunk.
Their wet market

In the evening, we visited another church. The church is located in a poor area of Santiago. It was so different when we stepped out of the train station. Imagine the downtown area is like London with alot of big deparmental stores in those older buildings. The place where we live is like Joo Chiat. Quite a clean place with some nice fountains. The place where we went to is like err.. rural thailand minus the farmlands. It was well.. run down. It was so different yet they are like 20 mins away from each other.

When we are in the car and still some distance away from the chuch, we could hear the drumroll of the praise and worship practice. The atmosphere was good from the moment we went there. Haven't expereinced a live band for quite long le. well... Didn't understand half the service though Pui See tried very hard to translate the sermon to me. But what was touching was that @ the end of the service, the pastor asked the pp to hug the person beside them. You see, south americans are very feel and affectionate people. The end of their service is like the end of our church camp. Everyone started hugging one another as a sign of love. But unfortunately, on my left was Eelee and on my right was cindy. We smiled to each other and preferred the Asian way of showing love. :)
Fat baby

Picture with Pastor Alex (the pastor of the church we visited)

Was touched again today by how different tongues can come together to worship the same God. The worship songs today were in spanish. They sang a song that had the word hallelujah. So although i was singing the english equivalent, everytime we sang hallelujah it will be in one common voice. How majestic God can be. :)

Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people.
