Destino

Tonight in Destino we had a guest speaker. Pastor Gabriel (form Silvia's Hispanic Church) came with his wife Claudia to have an open "forum" where we could ask any questions we had about faith, religion, God, life, etc. Pastor Gabriel is from Mexico where he has planted several churches and is currently pursuing his doctoral studies in theology, while simultaneously pastoring a Hispanic church here in the US.

It was such a treat to have them come an share! Also, four Destino members made public confessions of faith after being challenged by Pastor Gabriel's talk.

God is working on NC State's Campus.

Bill Santiago

Mi Familia, NC State's Hispanic organization, had their culture show last night. We flew in Bill Santiago, a Puerto Rican Comedian from New York to host our show. It cost us $2000 for him to agree to the gig.

After the show there was an after party with Latin dancing at a local restaurant. To my surprise Bill Santiago made it to the after party (I hope we were not still paying him!!). I figured it was a one in a life time opportunity, so I asked him to dance. He said yes.

So, it's official. I have now danced THREE Salsa songs with Bill Santiago.
