Jesus. How do we interpret him? What does he look like? Can he be black? Can he be Chinese? What about a ripped Jamaican man with dread locks? These are all questions we explore with James Krabill this morning. It was quite interesting wondering how all the different cultures in the world depict Jesus.
In the afternoon session today, each country was packed away into separate rooms to meet with our country advisors or leaders. I am not sure what to call them. However, Bolivia me with a woman named Linda Shelly who has spent the majority of her life in South America and in the Latin American culture. It was so exciting listening to her talk about the different parts of the culture and what to expect. I cant believe how excited I am now to actually get there, but I have to wait for like 15 more days. It will come soon enough though.
For this evening, we group went out and took the EL and city buses to get to a place called, "Margie's Candies." It was like an old creamery or something with tons of different flavors and topping for ice cream. Different orders from our group contained such as a giant banana split, milk shakes, sundaes, dished of ice cream, and a half gallon "worlds largest sundae" eaten by Nate Kelly, one of the members going to China. The only question is why?
Linda Shelley and I worked together in Guatemala years ago. That was her start with MCC.
