Church

Normally I would not feel like going to church is such a big thing, but here everyone is so passionate. I'm not going to compare my religion to my host family's, just simply make an observation. Here Church started at 8pm on Sunday night, and we left at about 10.45pm while it was still going.. Wow I will never think an hour service is long again! Here the church was about the size of a double garage with rows of 7 plastic chairs wide. If I hadn't of known it was a church I probably would not have guessed, it just did not look like the churches I have been used to in NZ.
What I loved about the service was the lively atmosphere! There was 2 large amps with an electric guitar and keyboard, with lots of microphones. Over half of the time there was singing and dancing! It felt like a small concert, everyone sang at the top of their lungs and I could actually feel the rhythm of the bass in my body! It made me feel so happy and I could see everyone was very passionate about what they were singing about. I am so glad I was able to experience this, its the kind of thing I have only ever seen on movies and it was great to be apart of it
