Wow has it really been 4 months already?? I can't believe it. Nor can I believe that in November, while I'm typing this, it's over 91 degrees in our house....that doesn't have an AC. The weather differences are really odd, and I'm still not used to the fact that the seasons are opposite.
Halloween was my Grandfather's birthday. And one thing I remember every year is that it's ALWAYS cold or chilly that night. So Saturday when I looked at the thermometer and it was almost 100, I was totally shocked.
Every Saturday night, we have youth service at church. Last saturday night, we had a "vigilia," (vigile) service until midnight. Since Halloween is an extremely new thing here, a small part of the service was set aside to teach about what it was and how it became to be a "holiday." It was so interesting, and I never knew that even Jack-O-Lanterns have a meaning behind them.
Sunday after service, we had Communion and a foot washing. That's my first communion with grape soda (cool idea) and I've definately never done foot washing so that was cool too.
