On Sunday nights we have cultural worship. It is done in a different language and of course another culture. Two Sunday nights ago it was an African worship. I found if very frustrating. That was my fault in that I didn't prepare myself for such.
This past Sunday it was a Brazilian worship service all done in Portuguese. I was better prepared. Knowing what to expect kind of helps. Nothing is explained in English - overseas they are not going to stop and explain anything in English for you. So we practice now. This time two of the songs were familiar coruses. Then the person preaching helped us realize he was in Mark 4. He was teaching on the Jesus calming the storm. He used a lot of motions to help us figure out what he was talking about. It made it very understandable, but I don't think that was quite reality for a most worship services. They had us bring flashlights so that when the electric goes out we can still read the words. Electric is not a constant overseas.
