Today we went to the grand opening of the new coffee shop, an outreach of the community centre.<\/strong>  There wasn’t a spectacular turnout, but enough people to make it fun.<\/p>\n

You can see in the picture below how it was today, more or less.  There were a two or three more tables outside that you can’t see.<\/p>\n

So far it’s been a good place to come and sip tea (sorry, no coffee for me…) and talk to people.<\/p>\n

It’s actually been interesting to hear people’s reactions anew as activities have started up again at the community centre – and of course the caf\u00c3\u00a9 is new.  I think some people kind of expect us to be here to make a bunch of money and take it out of the country.  When they find out that most of the classes are free<\/i> – and that the coffee shop… well, it may or may not break even – they have a little trouble figuring it out.<\/p>\n

One man I talked to the other night said it was great to have this buena onda<\/i> in the community – meaning like a good atmosphere – good feelings – in a place where there is so much bad feeling spread around.<\/p>\n

So here’s hoping we can continue to spread buena onda<\/i> in Jesus’ Name – helping the community and sharing His love.  Even with coffee.  Or maybe tea.<\/p>\n
