After breakfast, we walked to church. It took about 45 minutes which was longer than it should because I stopped to take pictures along the way. We arrived at church about ten minutes early anyway. Here are pictures of the sights along the way to church on Avenida Fray Vicente Solano.

Here are pictures of our church, Calvary Chapel of Cuenca. Mike and I met at a Calvary Chapel in California, so we were pleasantly surprised to find a Calvary Chapel in Cuenca!

We have been warmly welcomed into the church family. Most of the members speak only Spanish but some do speak some English. The music and sermon are in Spanish, but we can follow along as the words of the songs are illuminated onto a screen. This will be a good reason to learn Spanish.
After church, we decided to catch a cab and go to the Inca Lounge for lunch. It is on the river and the pictures show the surrounding area. Also, we were invited back into the kitchen where a master sushi chef was teaching the kitchen staff how to make sushi. Luckily, I had my camera with me.

It was delicious!

How awesome is that! A Calvary Chapel in Cuenca!
ReplyDeleteAs my wife and I start to begin to considering thinking about the possibility of "retiring" overseas, our main concerns are healthcare in our very latter years, and a body of like-minded believers. My wife and I attended a Calvary Chapel in Austin Texas for a number of years and enjoyed it immensely.
Sounds like you are adjusting admirably. Now I need to remember to record that HHI program on the 21st.
Hi AggieBoy,
ReplyDeleteWe are very happy to be attending the Calvary Chapel here. Their music and bible teaching are exactly like that in the States, except in Spanish. I had the opportunity to speak at the women's monthly gathering (with the help of an interpreter).
Blessings to you, Pat Grimm.
