So! I'm gonna talk about church. Every week I go to an English speaking church close to where I live and it's really cool there, I have lots of friends and the pastor speaks really well.
I've been going there for about 3 years so there are some people I know very well but because it's English speaking, lots of people who come are expats who come and go!
So anyway, a friend was telling me about all these things happening at his church, for example healings and speaking in tongues or baptisms in the holy spirit and I was just getting confused.. because I know about these things but only vaguely, I've never actually experienced them.
So I decided to go further into the city and went to the evening service at a French speaking church for youth (the evening service is for the youth and the morning one is more for families!).
Bref.
I went there by myself which in a way was a good thing, coz whenever I'm with someone I know, I just stick to them and don't go to talk to other people much. So being by myself, I had to go up to someone and talk to them (it sounds easy but I find it really hard .__.) and they were really friendly!!
They kept passing me along, introducing me to more and more people!
Once the actual service started I was amazed coz the worship was like a concert, unlike the worship I'd seen in the morning at my church with everyone still half asleep...!!!!!
It was so cool to see people being so enthusiastic about God :)
A girl called Noémie was really nice to me and showed me around and sat with me and everything :) David joined us after a while which was also cool.
After the worship they had a video and also a little 'sketch' and then a message and at the end you could write down prayer requests or go talk to people and socialize..it was just a really nice atmosphere!
I loved it so much that I decided to go to one of the bible study groups on Wednesday. It was strange at first because everyone was atleast 4 years older than me! There were even some late 20 yr olds!
But yeh, they were all so friendly that after a while it just seemed really normal to be with them.
I loved it when we split into tiny groups to discuss things because when there are only 3 or 4 of you, it's much easier to have everyone talking and not just a few.
Wow this is getting long!
Going to a French speaking church is also good for me because I'm not speaking any French at the moment which is terrible T____T I need to talk a lot more to get back into the habit.
This Sunday there's an event at my friend's church so I'll probably spend my whole day at church (es). lol!
I should stop there coz this is mega ultra super duper long now!
God bless everyone who reads this :) (If anyone does??)
