1 Timothy 2:5

I didn't blog yesterday because I was so exhausted! I'll explain why momentarily.

So yesterday was Sunday. What do I normally do on Sundays? Go to church of course! I figured I was settled into Orlando enough to figure out a place to go to church. Last Sunday I had just done a "do it yourself" church in my room.

In our program guide they gave us a list of nearby churches listed by denomination. I googled the Baptist one and it actually looks amazing- and huge. However it would be a $30 taxi drive one way. I'd love to go but I honestly couldn't afford $60/week to go to church.

The nearest church come to find out is Catholic. I'm not a Catholic and I've never been to a Catholic mass before, but I do have some connections to Catholicism on my dad's side and I've always wanted to experience it. So I ordered the 7$ taxi to take me there.

My friend Alex came along with me. She's Greek Orthodox which is quite similar to Catholicism but there are definitely some differences. It was so much fun to have Alex with me because a) it wasn't as lonely, it's always better with friends! and b) we were able to discuss differences between our denominations and Catholicism and we were able to share what we liked about our denominations together. It was a really neat experience and I'm very thankful for Alex :)

The service was beautiful. I really enjoyed it. The priest was very personable and charismatic. There were a lot of things that were quite different than a usual Baptist service. However I think I could end up going to this church for the three months while I'm here. A 3 month Catholic! 

The good news? Apparently it's right behind The Commons another Disney accommodation place, so we walked to The Commons and took a bus back to Vista. So I can get to church for free!

They have tons of services throughout the week too so I can adjust according to my work schedule.

I then went to work. It was fun. I was podium for awhile then greeter assistant (I LOVE BEING GREETER ASSIST. You just talk to people!) I then did "last check" at the podium essentially meaning I closed the restaurant. This was stressful because normally at last check the park is closed so you're just chilling alone- nope not me and my first check... extra magic hours meant the park was open til 3 am so I had a lot of people coming up to me asking about the restaurant and other issues to deal with. It was stressful but my leader helped me and we successfully closed the restaurant.

Anyway I only got in bed at 2 am last night! :(

I'm off today. Thank goodness. My legs hurt from standing all the time at work! I'm excited to see my friends again today as well. I'll let you know how it goes :)
