What Do You Do When You Live In A Shoe?

This title has no relevent meaning to my blog post at all, but I liked it and it has been going through my mind the past couple of days so I thought I would use it.

I really have no plan for this blog post either, and feel as though it will be a bunch of random thoughts put down so I hope you enjoy them!

This morning on the way into work on a very crowded bus I had my purse slashed open, but thankfully nothing was stolen. I was carrying my cellphone, mp3 player, visa card and passport with me. I didn´t realize what had happened until I got to work, and looking back I could have prevented it. I guess it´s a life lesson!

Lent season is here, and even though I got started a week late (things usually are abit delayed here I find! actually I counted the days wrong or something) I am focusing on prayer, and setting a time aside every day for purposefull prayer, and a bible study.

Our team is heading to Argentina again in a couple of weeks, after a visit from our director in the states. We are all really looking forward to a week spent in Buenes Aires.

Time here is flying by SO fast, and hopefully it will start to cool down soon. The past 2 days have been beautiful - cool (27ºC-30ºC) and slightly overcast.

I got a chance to help out with a special day for the kids at Alto Refugio. They have just started back into school, and so we had a day where we handed out backpacks and school kits to the ones who can´t afford things like this. It was beautiful to see their smiling faces and new things.

Other than that, I am sick of the city life, and ready for the peace and quiet of the country again, without the sound of latin music or dogs barking - but I am sure it will come soon enough!

God Bless

  1. When you live in a shoe you feel like a heel so you move to a boot and get tongue-tied lol lol Seriously though I am so glad you were protected on your way to work!! I'm going to challenge you to learn how to play some of that beautiful Latin music on your guitar for me :) :) I was actually thinking the other day when I went in your bedroom that when you get home you probably won't be able to sleep because it will be too quiet. I am thinking that even though this time of relocation for you has been a real eye opener being outside the "North American box" that the important thing is how much it seems to be helping you grow in your faith and that is a very blessed thing!
    Love you bunches Mom
