I had the privilege of joining Cristo Rey as an associate member this past Sunday. It was a wonderful Sunday worship. We had a small ceremony before the service started to accept me as an associate member. Prior to the service, I had asked if there was anything I had to do or just answer the standard questions. I was told, yes, just respond in the affirmative. Well, the ceremony was much more than this! It was several pages typed out single space. I professed my belief in Jesus Christ (in Spanish) before the Church and it was a beautiful ceremony. The pastor then prayed for me and it was such a sweet prayer. It really made the worship service extra special as a true member. And afterwards, my brothers and sisters were there to wish me "felicidades" (congratulations) and share in this special day with me!

Each Sunday is such a wonderful time of worship with our Peruvian brothers and sisters, but then we also enjoy lunch at a missionary home with worship through song and prayer in English. This Sunday everyone had a bit of football fever (it is fall there right?). And so a few of the guys, and even some girls, enjoyed a game of football in the park Sunday afternoon also. Enjoy a few photos from our slice of American fun on a Peruvian Sunday afternoon.
