highlight of the day: going grocery shopping and hearing Zac Efron from HSM2 come on the radio singing "Bet on it". I wish Sallie could have been there.
We met a girl from London(Claire) who will be volunteering with us at Crecer Con Amor (http://www.crecerconamor.org/). The three of us walked around and explored the neighborhood a bit. We walked through the "hippie fair" which is set up in a park about 3 blocks from our apartment every weekend. They had lots of really cool art and jewelry...I was tempted to act like a tourist and buy a bunch of trinkets, but I exercised some self-control;)
I can tell already that city life is going to be a challenge...way out of our comfort zone...but I am confident that the Lord will give us the patience and strength to navigate this new place.
Also (this note is for Dad--who doubts my ability to speak Spanish), i think i have spoken more spanish in the past two days than in a full semester of college spanish. It's difficult, but I think I'm going to learn fast. Everyone I have met so far is so helpful and encouraging as I try to communicate.
Thank you for continuing to pray for us. We love y'all.
