The one today was interesting as the location changed a bit. We were outside in the schools basketball court. With a little canopy tent set up and a building under construction behind it. This building is an expansion on the school which my three younger host siblings go to. So once again there was an interesting twist in the sermon as the priest incorporated the construction into it. Mainly because they had a block of cement from the building that they are going to insert into the building with a sheet of paper, no doubt blessed, and signed by everyone there today. Which includes me! So I have officially left my mark inside that building, and who knows how long it'll be there!

Officially left my mark!
So I had an interesting experience today. Not interesting like the others where I got lost for hours on end. I have been going to mass with my family the last three weeks. It's done in a little chapel that used to be a school room. It is significantly shorter than most catholic masses I have experienced only going for around half an hour to forty-five minutes. And though I have only been to three I've already been part of two very special ones. One was a goodbye mass to their priest from Burundi, very interesting as he used African proverbs for as his sermon.

African proverbs eh? I think you know what's going through my mind. Something by a standup comedian you used to quote all the time? Anyway, that's cool, glad to see you're part of the community (like there was any doubt you would)
