Day 1 - LOI Puebla Mission Update
We arrived in Puebla Saturday night with cloudy skies and drizzle. Sunday it rained most of the day and was a pretty low key day. We were able to attend the Bult's church, Comunidad Biblica. It was very free flowing, beginning with prayer as a small group. Then family worship began as more people began arriving. I have to say the greeting portion was a little different from what we are use to a Lakepointe. We learned to greet each other with a hug and kiss on the cheek. Women greeting on the left side, and men greeting to the right. Several of us received some good smacks on the cheek. Although there were some that obliged us with our usual handshake. It was a unique experience which made us feel welcome as a community of believers. Another surprise was breaking for snack and fellowship in the middle of the service. Some ladies provided crackers, a type of pineapple pudding, and a cinnamon coffee. We then returned to the sanctuary for a couple more songs. All the "Padres" were called to the front for a special recognition for Father's Day. In which they were warmly greeted by everyone once again. After service we enjoyed lunch at Especial de Acuca. The pork tacos were delicious and we all had our fill. We then headed back to the Bult's home. The rest of the day was spent in fellowship with one another.
