Our weekly Chapel service here at the seminary was a little out of the ordinary. We had some special guests. Dr. Louie Bustle, Director of World Mission for the Church of the Nazarene preached and an indigenous Children's dance group performed.
The Children's dance group was so cute. They danced two Ecuadorian Folk dances and then presented Dr. Bustle with a poncho.
It was rewarding to hear a sermon in Spanish that I totally understood. Yes, I have even translated some sermons but it is rare when I really understand everything and leave with the points of the sermons still running around in my head. (Because it is a monologue a sermon is one of the last things that you really can understand.) The scripture from the sermon was Mathew 22:37-39. The greatest commandment is "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind." and the second "Love your neighbor as yourself." The thought in my head still is something that Dr. Bustle said... you have to have the first commandment to make the second commandment possible. For me sometimes loving my neighbor is hard to do... and I've never connected the two in that way before... maybe it will be easier now...anyway I'm still thinking about that one...

It is so encouraging to hear a sermon that I actually understood. Good thing that we all speak the same dialect of spanish: Gringo!
