"I TRULY believe we can overwhelm the darkness of this world by shining something BRIGHTER and more BEAUTIFUL."

a sunday in seguin

Sundays are my favorite.

Sundays are for going to church, being surrounded by friends, going out to lunch, taking long naps, and taking time to enjoy beautiful weather.

Sundays are the same here.
Things seem to slow down.

We went to church this morning at the school I've been talking about. Church back home seems just plain rushed when you compare it to the three hour service we were a part of this morning. After about 4 sermons and 3 sessions of worship, we were asked to stand up, introduce ourselves, and sing a song for them. Rachel, one of the girls staying at the Clinic to build latrines, led us in singing "Amazing Grace." The energy and unhindered worship is an incredible thing to witness and be a part of. Our unsure glances turned into smiling...our smiling turned into clapping...our clapping turned into dancing. Their joy is contagious.

We've spent today napping, reading, and watching movies. All wonderful things.
