My body is so aching right now

Last night for dinner I choked down 3 meatballs that were rather pink on the inside. Im talking not cooked all the way pink but my host mom assured me it would be fine. With each bite I prayed for protection over my body. That was almost enough to make me turn vegetarian.

Today I fell down the steps. That makes once in Chile and once in Argentina, alright Im on a roll. After I fell to the ground I imediately got hot and sweaty, thought I was going to puke, my vision went blurry and then dimmed and I was shaky. I tried to call to Paula for help but I could yell above a faint whisper. I got pretty scared and ill admit that there was some tears, but I just think my blood pressure shot up. Anyways, I didnt go to the hospital but i have an ace bandage and i think ill be find. All in all, it made me want my mommy and Im not afraid to admit it.

Today my friend and I tried to go to an Argentine bible study. Talk about culture shock! The amount of people and the language barrier was a bit overwhelming. We left and decided that we will go back for church service where we wont have to have conversations. Sometimes i feel okay about this language but other times....theres just not chance.

In house church on thursday we talked about how living a life where the holy spirt can do great things through you requires surrendoring everything. it is a hard road and many of us admitted to the fact that we dont know if we have what it takes. And frankly, we arent so sure we want a life like that. But I know that is my flesh speaking because there is such a battle inside. My spirit longs in desperation for spiritual things. Im glad that Christ gives us the strength to do what is right because it is pretty hopeless on my own.

The woman incharge of my program sent me (and my fellow companions) an emai:

Hola a todos!!!!!!!
I just wanted to let you know that the government have just announced a new Holiday that will be next March 24. No classes will be held on that day.
The Holiday is in conmemoration of the 30 years of the Military Process Government.

So now I get another day off from school. This is good.
