Cordoba, Che

So, it has been awhile. We got to Cordoba just fine, tired, but glad to be here. We arrived Sunday afternoon, rested, and went to church. Church here in Argentina is at night, almost always. Then on Monday we toured the city and celebrated New Years with the pastor's family. We ate good food, danced, and had fun. On Tuesday we went to a river outside of Cordoba, about an hour. Then on Wednesday we went to a youth camp/retreat. While there we mostly were there to interact with the students there. We also taught some of our dramas to them to use for evangelism. Also while we were there I met my Argentinian parents. It was a little hard to communicate well with them, but they took my under their wings and loved me and cared for me like parents. It was a true blessing. We got back on Sunday, went to church, and then rested up for the free day we had on Monday. On Monday we went downtown, did touristy shopping and then at the night we went to Laura and Luis (my Argentinian parents) house for dinner. Then Tuesday morning we went to another town about 5 hours from Cordoba called Frías. While there we were able to stay with host families. Katelyn and I stayed in the house of the pastor's parents. It was great to be in a house again, and they took such good care of us, like grandparents. It is really awesome to see that when I was missing family and that care they have God puts people in my path to fill that desire. During the week in Frías we learn the intricacy of the siesta. Every afternoon we got to rest for a few hours, which was good because we were up until 3 or 4 every night. It was a relaxing week for us. A few hours of team time in the morning and at 5 we would meet with the youth from 3 churches. We taught them different lessons 1 or 2 every day and also taught them some of our dramas. Then at 11 or so we would go to the plaza and do some dramas and play some music. Then afterwards we would hang out for a few more hours. We bonded really well and have great friendships there in Frías that we will never forget. When we left they all came to the bus station and gave us a great send off of many waves with a few tears. It has been a great two weeks, and I am looking forward to another great two weeks. I praise God for the great blessing that our time in Argentina has been. Thank you for your prayers, they are greatly appreciated.

(I have no way to put pictures online from here, so you will have to wait to see all of them until I return to Mexico on the 26th, sorry!)
