So this morning we went to a church called Living Hope. We decided to go to Sunday School because sometimes just showing up for church doesn't involve much interaction with other people. We made up half of the class this morning, but it was nice to meet people our own age from here. I had my first scone...is that even how you spell it? It seemed like a biscuit to me.
Anywho, the service was great! It wasn't quite what I was used to, but I observed a sort of freedom that I hadn't in other services. It was so structured. People just moved around freely and not everyone turned to stare at a person who choose to raise their hands in worship. It was nice :)
The Sunday School leaders invited us out to lunch at an Italian place called Zio's. It's a lot like Johnny Carino's. We had assumed it would be them, us, and some other girls from the Sunday School class, but it ended up being up us, the associate pastor and his wife, the pastor and his wife, a couple who was related to both of the other couples, and the youth pastor who happened to be from the same town as one of my room mates. Small world!
The afternoon was just one long nap. Three and half hours to be exact. It was incredible. (Just in case you were wondering.)
Later we all headed over to one of the girl apartments to play apples to apples, but once all 24 of us were in there that didn't seem possible. We ended up playing catch phrase instead which you can never go wrong with. After a couple rounds we just sat around and talked for a little bit...still trying to get to know each other better.
Tomorrow is a full day of orientation before we begin classes on Tuesday! So excited!
I keep forgetting to take pictures so this is all I got.
