so little time

I've officially been in Argentina for a week and I've come to find that I really don't have much time to blog. I hardly ever pick up my laptop, unless it's to do homework at 12am before class the next morning, or to quickly load pictures up on my computer. Each day is packed full with classes, serving, and adventure.  There's just not enough time in the days to spend some leisure time on things like facebook. Right now it's 1:30am here, so I'm choosing this instead of sleeping; whether or not this is a smart disicion shall be determined tomorrow morning.

Buenos Aires, Argentina is a fantastic place to start this trip around the world. The culture and lifestyles seem to be more similar to mine own then I expected. It's also nice that atleast a few of us can carry out legitamet conversations with people around the city. I am not one of those few. My spanish ablities are very minimal. I can ask where are you from, how are you, what's your favorite color, and what time is it...that's about it. So conversations is something I tend to not try too hard at, although I've gotten much better at it.

So far my days have consisted of a mix of classes, walking, sightseeing, haning out with kids in slums, yummy food, spanish, and plenty of amazing memories with awesome people. I love that i get to wake up in the morning, shower in a semicold shower, go down stairs and eat bread with dolce de leche, have devotions, have class, go out and about on the Buenos Aires streets, go hang out with kids in slums, then come back to the hostel and hang out!! This life is so amazing!! I love being able to walk around the Argentine streets, it makes my heart very happy. There's so much to see, smell, eat, and fall in love with.

I can't believe this is only the 1st week of this 4 month adventure and already so much has happened. All of us have already grown close together, and that's really exciting to see all of these relationships develop and grow. I'm excited to see what God has for us for the rest of our time here!!  For now I'm going to enjoy each moment as they happen.
