So I am officially living in a country where I can hardly say my own name (it's pronounced Root, but you have to roll the r, so it's Rrroot - yea difficult) but other than that, my spanish is coming along slowly, the days are getting warmer, and each day I get a little more comfortable with their crazy public transit! One thing Chicago taught me was how to ride a bus thankfully.
The church I am attending is a small mennonite church, but is very charasmatic. It really surprised me the first Sunday I attended, but it is growing on me. Starting this Sunday I will be helping with the babies every other Sunday. The people here have accepted me wonderfully, and my host family treats me as a daughter. Infact I am always introdued as ¨the other daughter¨ or as ¨my sister¨by Raquel. It is a really nice feeling.
Our group purchased cell phones yesterday. I didn't think I would mis smine when I left Canada, which I don't. They will come in handy here once we all begin working and don't see each other everyday.
Each day my homesickness grows less and less, some days are good and some days aren't as good, but Eph. 2:10 helps me through that.

The homesickness will get better. Relax and let yourself immerse into the experience. If you ever need to talk more about this email me.
ReplyDeleteI am guessing that the church you're connected to in PY is called Iglesia Emaus? If it is, be thankful. You are surrounded by an amazing bunch of people.
