Yesterday we went to a Church of Christ in the area. They loved having us. They made us some kind of bread and coffee stuff for breakfast, we went to the service (which was heavy tailored to accommodate us) and then they made a huge Columbian-style lunch for us. There were also a couple birthdays so we had cake afterwards. We got back from that at 4, and as tired as i was, i just wanted to get away and go explore. So i hopped on the subway for the first time, not knowing exactly where it went. When i got out i found myself in the midst of a huge Brazilian festival- it was pretty bumpin. Then i went to Puerto Medero, found an American sports bar -bulldog-, met some guys from NYU who live here selling hot sauce, and then went home. I got to skype with Sarah and that was great, exactly what i needed at the time.
Today i was very efficient: i swapped out my American money for Argentine money, bought a cell phone and loaded it with minutes, went to the correo and mailed my letters and got a sube card, did my hw, worked out, and went to Cafe Tornitino with some friends. We also had our first student-led worship service, i'm really looking forward to the future ones. It's so cool that i'm praising the same God that I praised back at home-- half a world away.
