Ok, so an update on current events:
On Friday I went with a bunch of kids from my co-op to Portland to work with "Bridgetown Ministries". They have this deal under the Burnside Bridge where they bring food and clothing and friendship to the homeless of Portland. They also have 2 smaller groups that do 'walkabouts' around different parts of Portland taking the same stuff to other homeless, and praying for the city and people in it. It was really kool, I got to talk music with a guy who played drums on the street for money, and I got into a debate with one guy about everything from politics to the Last Days! It was a real eye-opener for alot of people in our group, I've been around homeless a bit, and some of the other guys had been working with Bridgetown for a while too.
Then on Saturday, we went to a Latin Mass to hear examples of Plainchant for my music appreciation class. I was really kool, though a bit to formal for an every-week thing. They said alot of the prayers in Latin, ad the Ordinary was sung in Latin. You could hear perfectly from anywhere in the church, and they didn't use mikes or speakers, it was all natural! Is that kool or what?
Other than that, I'm playing guitar in chapel next tuesday, and also in AWANA on Monday. So wish me luck!
