Youth


Cultural fact: at Iglesia Jesucristo Rey, one is part of the ¨youth group¨ from the age of 18 until married! This means that, at 36 years-old, I went to a youth group meeting today as a participant. I wonder -- since I am considered a youth, does this means my gray hairs will go away? Tee-hee! Below is a photo of me at least looking tall, if not particularly youthful.


Develt spoke to the youth group today about the church´s call to work with the poor, beginning in our own communities. As seems to be usual, we started gathering at 9:00 pm, had mate and pastries, started the meeting, finished at 10:30, talked for an hour, etc. -- suffice it to say it´s 1:00 am and I´m going to bed!
