hot a monkey junk
i need a fan. air condition would be nice but i´d settle for a fan or some kind of breeze in my room. its been about 30 degrees celcius. do you know how hot that is in Farenheight? yeah, me neither, but its somewhere around monkey junk hot and a dehydration.
i saw my first argentine fight today. it was between two ladies in their 20s and they were pulling each others hair while two guys tried to pull them apart. i felt very much like a middle schooler as i peered out the bus window to watch the situation.
yesterday i ate at a Cafe Tortoni which is over 150 years old. the place was amazing and well
perserved. my favorite part of this excursion was not the food or even the view, but it was the museum above it. what made it so worth while was the fact that La Orchestra de la Academia National de Tango was practicing and i got to watch. There were 5 violins, one base, 1 cello and piano, a very talented male singer and 4 acordians! It was beuatiful and i took such delight in watching/hearing live music.
On to the good news.....House Church. I think we´ve started one even though i´m not sure they are aware that we are a church. Right now there are 4 girls and one guy but we really want at least one other guy. We met once last week and everyone really wants to contunue meeting on a regular basis for focused God discussion and pray and meet throughout the week so that we can be each other´s support. I´m so excited!!!!!!
about pictures, i´m having some technical difficulties with my camera. and a friend trimmed my hair a bit so the mullet is a bit more subtle (thought still there) and i haven´t cried about it in over a week, i think i´ve moved on.
and of course, i´m contining to learn about myself. if everyone could lable you with one adjective, who would you be in the group? the funny one? smart one? the leader? i feel like i would be the ¨sweet one¨most of the time and that seems a bit boring. who remembers the sweet one? they aren´t the life of the party, not memorable. and then i think about it some more and being the sweet one isn´t so bad, actually its quiet nice. the funny ones need someone to entertain and laugh at their jokes and the leaders need people to follow them. yep, i´ve got my role but it doesn´t put me in a box. so for now i shall remain sweet. just call me dulce de leche (its like carmel and argentines are obsessed with it, just ask g-mo, he´ll know.)

you have a house church! that is so awesome!!
We'll see what we can do about the weather (mixes some stuff in the lab)
yeah, it does get pretty hot down there. I am so glad that you were able to get a church group going, who knows, it might turn intoa revival or something, which is much needed.
So how is the language going. Are you becoming more familiar with it? Is it easier to talk yet? Are you having any problems with the slang??
How is the family with which you are staying?? You should blog about the a little bit, I am sure that more than one of use would like to know wheather they are treating you right and lovingly or not.
Anyways, I still have gotten no reply to my email, did you get it? or do I need to write it again?
hehehehehe..... :) Were the ladies who were fighting living in your house??! ;)
Hey Dulce,
i miss you i miss you i miss you.
to me, you are the 'beloved one'.
bjo
Just to let you know kayla, the group would be no fun without the sweet one. Us funny ones and leaders can carry a group, but it is the sweet ones that make us want to try harder. Who realy cares about impressing the other smart asses like ourselves?
