Gotta love the weekends

This is the time for us students to just chill. Saturday is just free time! No obligations, no meetings, no lectures, no work duties, nothing! Just some tacos, maybe a lil game of football or futbol down on the beach, possibly a movie downtown, and sometimes some intense Halo 3 sessions. Chill.

Sunday is even better. Church in the morning - we all kinda scatter and go to different churches around town... depending on where you wanna go. I've been going to the Bajio church a few minutes away from the base. Most of the people who live in the Red Light District go there (the ones that go to church I mean). It's an amazing service! We start out with a good hour or so of worship music (in Spanish), and then anyone who wants to can get up and share something, sing a song, play an instrument, or just whatever he/she feels lead to do. Every week my buddy, Victor, from Bajio, gets up and does a freestyle rap. This guy puts Eminem to shame! He's unbelievable! And it's all to give glory to God. Then we hear a sermon. Usually giving thanks to God for His forgiveness, mercy, and grace. Followed by a time for fellowship and just hanging out with the bums. It's radical. Literally.

Sunday afternoon usually consists of a nap. Sometimes, if anyone is feeling up to it, we'll head down to the beach again for some more sports. Sunday night, however, is filled with some hardcore prayer and intercession. This week the plan is to pray for our outreach funds and preparation.

Pray with me?
