Cold day! Bright week!

Cold day! Bright week!

Drinking: Cafe con Leche Grande
Listening to: Rosana "Luna Nueva"

I ran into a priest friend of mine on the street this week and we ended up grabbing a coffee together. He works with students in Santiago and is trying to bridge some of the gaps (or canyons, if you will) between Catholics and Evangelicals. We often spend much of our time together apologizing for the way that our churches have not worked together or loved each other in the way that Christ has called us to.

The cafe has been extremely busy lately, or maybe it just seems more busy because we are under-staffed. We have about a three month gap until we are expecting any help. Hopefully someone will show up unexpectedly in the meantime to lend a hand. I have been blown away at the number of people hanging out here every night. It is almost always hard to find a seat in the evening as every table and every chair are filled.

It is so fun being able to walk in and recognize so many clients. Many of whom seem less and less like clients and more and more like friends. I pray daily for the conversations in this place that are about deep and meaningful things. Some are, some aren´t, but that is my prayer anyway.
