This weekend I had the pleasure to join the men at our church on their annual retreat. The theme this year was, ¨what does it mean to be a noble man?¨ Diego & Miguel did an amazing job of teaching and renewing us, but I'd like to share some comical/goofy things that happened in the last 48 hours.
- Me trying to maneuver a spherical object around a muddy field into an incredible annoying net being held up by a metal cage. They call this sport soccer. My love of athletic sports combined with my inexperience in soccer is what drives me mad. Luckily, we're planning on staying down here long term. Who knows maybe I'll improve :)
- Waking up to Mauricio's (my roommate at the retreat) alarm playing the delightful toon "Sexual Healing" Marvin Gaye style. We listened to some more of his songs and I've got to say, he's got good taste in the oldies genre. There was just something weird about waking up to that song, in the middle of the mountains, in a cabin, curled up in sleeping bag beside my friend Mauricio. Oh and just to clarify, Mauricio doesn´t speak English, he just likes the way the songs sound.
- As we were listening to a Chilean christian radio station on the drive back to Santiago, O' Happy Day from Sister Act came on. This led to the Chilean worship leader and I belting out this wonderful song bright and early as we rode down the highway. You just have to love Lauryn Hill.
- I saw this billboard on our drive back and got really excited since (1) it had my name on it and (2) Chileans always have a hard time pronouncing my name, so I could use this company or brand as a reference point. Well, when I asked Juana what it meant, he informed me that it´s basically a company that is know for its laxicatives. What can I say to that?
