Like the first Sunday I was here, I went to church with my family today. (I was in Cusuna the second Sunday, so we went to a church there.) It’s a very contemporary church with lots of people. Both Sundays, we have sung Spanish songs, but also songs that we sing back home, only translated into Spanish. This does a couple things for me. First, it makes it easier to worship because I don’t have to think about the tune, lyrics, and the translation of the lyrics. I only need to learn the Spanish lyrics. The other thing it does is help me imagine the Kingdom. It helps me imagine my church back home, SpringHill, LOFT, CCHS, China, and Honduras all worshiping together, all worshiping one God—even in different languages. This was SO true for me today when we sang “You Are Good.” --People from every nation and tongue, from generation to generation… We worship you! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! We worship you! And you are good!-- This chorus hit me every time at camp this summer thinking about my time in China and about what it would be like in Honduras, so to sing it in Spanish (well, Spanglish for me… I kept switching back and forth if I wasn’t focused on singing in Spanish) was amazing for me.
