well, i think it's been just 2 days since my last update, but I have some time tonight since it's only 2 am. here people go to bed usually around 5 or 6 am on the weekends. in fact it's very loud outside right now...
yesterday we took a day to travel and went to la cumbrecita which is in the sierras. It was about a 3 hour very bumpy and half-dirt, small & dingy, rattling bus trip to the south. but the scenery was amazing. the town is a small german town in the middle of argentina where we just walked around and enjoyed the relaxed village and checked out the artesenas...
we stopped in bellagrano on the way back into town and did more of the same. it was a nice day but i found myself missing the interaction with our new friends in cordoba.
today i spent the morning with our friend fernanda who was leaving tonight for home and just did random things around the city. then in the afternoon i met up with nic as usual at 3 pm. he took me to his apartment to meet his girlfriend and we took some mate... she was great but spoke no english. we had a great conversation about the catholic church and just had some really good conversation.
she left and nic and i ended up hanging out until 1 am. we talked much about our God and life and our girlfriends. his friend leo met us up and attended our evening bible study. they got a very straight forward presentation of the gospel and salvation and how the catholic church has distorted salvation into a series of rules of behavior and traditions. blake and leo and nic and i sat out on the cold balcony and talked for a long time and i shared my complete testimony with them as did blake. it was really a great opportunity. God really planned every detail of this day. they were very attentive and they're great guys and i feel like nic and i have been friends for years.
I can't begin to share how much i have grown and how much i have seen God's handiwork on this trip. i am so humbled by the support I received for this opportunity and the sacrifice that was made to allow me to serve God here. i am sad and thrilled to have 1 week left...
love you all
