Pablo

Me llamo Pablo, y éste es la “Lifesong” mia…. (English below is a translation from Pablo’s responses in Spanish)

My name is Pablo. I have been in Austin for 10 years. I live here with my brother-in-law, and all of our family is back in Mexico. We do stone masonry work around the city. I have been coming to Church Under the Bridge for 9 years, since it was at Town Lake. One Sunday, I was riding past on my bicycle. I saw the people here smiling and serving others, so I just put my bike down and came to help serve the food. When I am Under the Bridge, everyone is nice to me, and this feels like my family.

When I first started coming, I was drinking all the time. Since I serve here, I don’t drink very much any more. Being here is better for me. I thank God for leading me to this church and this family. He is gracious to me.
