Making Connections

Yesterday was a long and packed day of activities. Our morning worship was about music and finding the beat. Rev. Ruben Duran preached, "God is the music... The more we listen the more we can be in tune with that and find the reason God is calling you by name."

We went through the day's activities. Ashley and I both served on panels to share more with others about our families and communities.

We've gotten a chance to make a lot of new connections while here. In the evening we got a chance to go to the Ethnic Associations Receptions. We got to know some of the people from Salam Arabic Lutheran Church in Brooklyn NY. We had a great time together and hope to see more of each other through the week and then back in New York. Ashley also got some dance lessons from a new friend that comes from central New Jersey. We also happened to meet the son of a former pastor of Our Saviour. They were in New York in the 80s and moved to Puerto Rico after their time at OSLC. More connections and more experiences today!!
