Pentecost

Well, we've had some busy weeks including one with my parents here! We really enjoyed their visit and had some great day trips from here. So, I'll probably try to post some of those pictures eventually : ).
For today though, I wanted to share something quite amazing that took place today. As most of you know, we've been attending the International Protestant Church (IPC) here. Basically, it's an English-speaking church encompassing various protestant denominations. We've really enjoyed getting to know the wonderful people in the church and the pastor is very nice. Today though, we celebrated Pentecost by having the story of Pentecost read initially in English and then had about 10 people stand up and read the rest of the verses in their native language. Thus depicting what it must have sounded like that first Pentecost! Imagine all these different languages reading at once and just being able to listen. (As opposed to being in the supermarket hoping to over-hear someone speaking English to ask a translation question!)
It really was moving hearing that all at once in that setting. Just thought I'd share : ).
Happy Pentecost everyone!
