Now that we've been here for a couple of weekends, we have been able to attend a few churches around the area. The church that we were able to go to this morning was the total opposite of the one we went to last weekend. The church last week was in a regular neighborhood of the city and was very crowded. Many of the people there had come from off the street, and few knew English, so there was a translator. It was a lot more up beat than any other church that I have been to before.
The church we went to this morning was more like the ones that you would find in the US. Most of the people there were international, and a couple people we met were from America also. It is held at a really nice hotel right in the middle of the city. The church has a youth group just like any one you would find at home.
On our way home today, we stopped to go to the restaurant that you heard about in Mark's blog again for lunch... and they had beef! I had some steak and mashed potatoes, which tasted identical to the ones at home. We left the restaurant and went back home.
We will probably go to the church that we're more used to. My mom had already met a couple of the people who attend that church through the Overseas Womens Group. Tomorrow we start our third week of school and have almost become used to the way that school is run here.

Thomas,
I loved hearing about the churches. It is amazing what a small world it is and that your family saw people at the church that you were aquainted with.
Your blogging is great and I really appreciate the effort you are making so that we can all enjoy your adventures.
Love You,
Grandma
