19.1.14

sabbath rest

Today marked my first Sunday spent in Brazil. With a worship service conducted in Portuguese, it was rather difficult to follow along or to be challenged and edified by the preaching of the gospel. And yet, so far from home, the service is so familiar - the same liturgy, the same psalms (sung in a different language of course), and the same sense of community among the members. It is really amazing to see the catholicity of the church.

On an entirely unrelated note: today's photo of the day comes from the corner of my room. I'm not in Kansas anymore!

So neat! :) We actually had a minister from Korea this afternoon who sang part of the Apostles' Creed for us in Korean, and it was amazing... our catholic church stretches to every corner of the globe! Hope you're loving every minute of your adventure... geckos and all! :)
