this past weekend was crazy! cathy and her friend may flew in from chicago and stayed over from thursday to sunday. meanwhile, esther and sommy (friends from michigan) drove down from norcal (hadn't seen sommy since michigan and esther since the 4th of july weekend when we ran into paula abdul...what's with this american idol theme??). then, the urban plunge team from michigan (including eunia, jon b, reggie, belinda, ahrim, dae, pastor peter) were here this past week, so their last day they scheduled time to just hang out in la. we hung out all day saturday. i want another weekend!

yesterday at mosaic we actually had a pretty interesting service. the soho club actually got closed down because of fire hazards and the church found out 45 minutes before service was supposed to start. so we were kicked out, and had to have an improv service in an adjacent parking lot. pastors erwin, alex and gerardo, and the creative director david arcos each had a station and the congregation divided up into 4 groups and rotated through all of them. our group started with a game with david where you had to have a conversation with another person by just asking questions. then we went onto pastor alex who talked about short-term missions, pastor gerardo who led us in a time of prayer for one another, and pastor erwin who introduced the new colossians series we'll be starting. i actually really liked it a lot.
