unfortunately i'm too excited to sing the song in the church so i came late to the meeting, with Karel. when we entered, Br. Benoit welcomed both of us. Karel picked the chair near the entrance and so do i. but Br. Benoit asked me to come with him. okay i think those chairs is for those who come late. then i saw Br. Leandro asked Pablo to come with him as well. then me and Pablo were taken to the middle of the room. exactly in the middle of the room, there were three empty chairs. there are microphone on top of the chair in the middle. hm i think this chair is for Br. Alois. and apparently, me and Pablo was told to sit next to the chair with the microphone, i'm on the left chair and Pablo on the right chair. have a seat with quite shock and still can't believe what happens, in a minutes Br. Alois come and take a seat between me and Pablo! struck with amazement, i greet him nicely. then there's one brother told me to move one chair to the left because he will be Br. Alois' translator.

what a day, what a seat!
