Podcasts, craft fairs, and football

    I'm not sure what my actual "church" experience will look like here over this next year, but today i decided to go with a podcast.  I've been in a  group of people for a solid 2 weeks now and I just needed some alone time (with God). I listen to Tim Chaddick's podcast about the realness of spiritual warfare and the armor of God. It really reminded me that in every aspect of life, especially in my weak points, Satan is constantly working to bring me down There'll be a lot of temptations, and a lot of darkness (amongst all the light) that I need to be aware of and ready for even if it isn't hitting me hard right now.
    After my podcast and hangout time with Jesus, i met up with Alycia and we went to a craft fair down near Plaza de Mayo. It was the biggest fair i have ever seen! It went on longer than we could see. They had a bajillion different trinkets, lots of matte gourds, patagonian alpaca/llama/sheep stuff, leather goods, incenses, food, bracelets/jewelry/headwear. I bought an alpaca hat, leather key chain, and a matte present for a friend. We also got some keesh and roasted peanuts. it was a really fun and neat afternoon. We got to practice our spanish bartering but that usually didn't go too well...
    This was followed by a night spent at the American sports bar in town- Shoeless Joe's Alamo - with a buncha dudes- including Dr. Daugherty. We went to watch the cowboys game, but also ended up watching several other game at the same time. The Dallas game was painful to watch but we pulled it through in the end with a kick as time expired to send the game to overtime and then another field goal to win it. The hours we were there were filled with great conversation from fantasy league players to life stories. I'm really loving getting to know everybody more and more everyday.
