Leon

I missed a couple days, -sorry. The power was out on Thursday and this weekend I was traveling in the northern part of the country. I spent yesterday and part of today in Leon, another provincial city north of the capital. Beautiful colonial architecture and a wonderful coastline just outside the city.

Just across from the main cathedral in the center of Leon, is a large theatre that has been converted into a Pentecostal Church. The Catholic Cathedrals in town where all shut today, apparently no mass on Sunday, however the Pentecostal church service could be heard from across the street. I was walking with a group of people, I meet at the hostel the night before, when we heard the noise of the service. Most of these people were European travelers and they usually have very little time for religion. But one English guy turned to me and told me how much he loved the sound the music and the prayers. He said, “You can feel something.” I agreed. I told him I was Pentecostal and he asked a few questions. He knew almost nothing about it. But he was much more interested then most.
