RE: first few days
Wow these past twoish days have been fast paced and amazing. God is deffinitly been teaching us how to trust in him more and that we need to rely on him for things that would be so simple in the states. for last night and today we had trainings and then we went to the different Universities. Yesterday I went to the medical part of the university, the universities are part of the university of buenos aires or UBA. UBA has 13 different caampuses. right now we are on 5 different campuses medical, economics, architecture, agromics, law, and... one more haha. Today after training we (my team of 7 out of the total 40) went to the architecture campus and that is the one we will be on mainly for the rest of the summer. It was a lot of fun once you go into the main bulding you see all these different people veding clothes. That because the architecture campus is also the design school. So, after the students make their clothes for class they can go upstairs and sell them. we kinda toured the school and then we had about 40 minutes left that we could actually go and talk to a few of the students. David and I went and talked to this one girl Ana, she is from Paraguay and has lived in Buenos Aires for about 10 years. It was exciting talking to her because when we did soularium ( a survey that get people talking about life and their beliefs through pictures) she started to answer questions that started to show she knew who God is and that she in the past has had a spiritual background. There is this one question that says "and pick a picture that describes your spiritual life now" she chose the one that had two people reaching for one another but going the opposite direction. so David asked her if she wanted to learn how to make her spiritual life more of a relationship. and she answered with a no. that kinda hit us both hard because she knows she needs God and Jesus but she just didnt want to learn more. after that she was kinda ready for us to go so we packed up. even though it was kinda of disheartening it was also encouraging because it was so simple to inter into a conversation with her. she was actually excited to start using her english with us. so hopefully other students will be like her. Its been a ton of fun getting immersed in the language and learning different customs. I know its gonaa be an awesome next 6 weeks thanks for all yalls prayers. Please keep Ana in them, hopefully we will see her again and she will want to hear more about what God has to offer for her.
