BROKE

SATURDAY'S POST:

Yes, that's right. I'm BROKE with a capital B, R, O, K, and E.
Too broke to afford a taxi to my church... so I just took to walking to the church that's close by (Central church). The service was good today. I took along my clarinet just in case they wanted some extra help during song service... and just by coincidence I bumped into the director of music just as I reached the entrance so I volunteered to join the accompanists and he said that'd be fine. Thank the Lord song service went really well, people enjoyed it.
The sermon was preached by Pr. Vasco Cubango, a retired pastor, and part of the 1st generation of SDA Pastors in Angola. He's a pioneer, and such an inspiration. My parents know him from back in the day and my mom has mentioned him a couple of times. It was great to hear him preach... he finished up by singing a song that I guess you could refer to as an 'oldie but goodie'... lots of people sang softly along with reminiscent expressions on their faces. It is at times like this that I'm reminded that Angolans have gone through a lot... their lives are books full of stories not even the most creative writer could've conjured.

After church, I headed back home and just chilled out with the fam... we actually sat down and had lunch together. That's a VERY rare occurence at the Tadeu home... everybody has their own schedule and there's always too much going on. But for some reason, today everyone happened to be home at lunchtime and we had a nice time eating together.

The rest of the afternoon I lounged around, read a bit History of Redemption, and dozed off a couple of times. I was supposed to go spend the night at Avo Elisa's house, but I guess there was some miscommunication with Moises who was supposed to come pick me up so that didn't happen. Oh well, I guess I'll go next weekend. It's been a while since I've seen la abuelita.

So that's pretty much all I did today. If you excuse me, I'm going to let you go so I can call my boyfriend (*sounding nasal*)...

Goodnight my dears!
