disappointment & boredom

This Saturday I decided to go to Asian Church (Seventh-day Adventist Church) which is located at Paris 15ème. I wanted to go there since it is mentioned at the website that the service is in English. We were late!! The service started at 11.15 but we came at 11h30.
To my surprise, the church is no longer the [...]
