Today I found a protestant church in the neighborhood next to mine, about a 20 minute walk. It was a very small room, but packed with people. Seriously, every seat was full and people sat on the stairs in the back. I really enjoyed the music. Some of the songs were recognizable from home, like 'Come, now is the time to Worship'. The music was contemporary, with a keyboard and guitar and a few people singing. The service lasted for two hours because there was quite a bit of music but I think no Sunday school. I followed along with the Bible reading in my Spanish English Bible, thanks to Jacob, who gave it to me for Christmas. I understood the theme of the message, but didn't fully understand everything the preacher said. I met a few American girls who are studying at the University.
After lunch, I took a very long siesta. I had had a very short night due to the Carnaval. We had a tomato and avocado salad, with salt and oil. It is very fortunate that Katherine and I both like tomatoes.
It looks like rain all week. How sad.
Today was a good day.

Crystal, I've missed a few days of reading your blog due to the intense focus on the mounds and piles of snow everywhere! I'm glad to hear what you're doing and how you are having good days, practicing your Spanish and seeing the sights. Keep writing - it's great reading:)
