Last night was the culto. While I didn’t directly participate, I was
still able to observe. Now as someone
who has grown up in Jesustown in the shadow of the Billy Graham Center, I
thought I’ve experienced all that the protestant religion has to offer. But in fear of playing the role of the Pharisees
on Pentecost, this event was a little…eccentric. For several hours people were walking around chanting,
spreading holy water and speaking in tongues (in addition to the usual singing
and praying). To each their own?
Today officially begins “Standfast Part II” (a cool way the
Feds say “Stay Put”). Tomorrow are mayoral
elections across the country. While we
aren’t anticipating violent protests, I’m stuck in my little city of 5000
people with no bank or supermarket for the next 5 days. To make this even more enjoyable, the
Nicaraguan government has forbid the sale of alcohol today and tomorrow. What a bunch of wet blankets, huh? I’ll let you know if anything exciting
happens!
