seriously. i suck at spanish. fortunately God doesnt care and can still somehow use us anyways. which is friggin awesome eh! so yeah - buenos aires. 9th largest city in the world. didnt really realize what that meant until i was living in the middle of it. busy noisy traffic outside our balcony 24/7. we bus and train everywhere. we will bus for over an hour through the city and still be in the middle of the city. no jokes. its just shops and shops and shops for ever and ever. theres pretty much a coffee shop a pizzeria or a bakery for every 10 people here. which if i do the math correctly here... yup - one every 4th building. its insane. and the snacks. omg these beautiful wonderful people LOVE sugar. and pastry. thank you Jesus its amazing. i mean i cant afford to eat like they do, but its so wonderful to walk down the road and see windows full of flaky light sugary pastries everywhere. heaven. anyways. ministry.
its been hectic. because it is such a big city, we are often in one area in the morning and an hour bus ride to another area later. south american culture isnt as time efficient as north america and so its pretty funny trying to make a schedule. at ten at night we sometimes find out that the next is completely changed. hahaha. but i mean who cares! whatever God wants us to do is cool with me.
we worked with this cool ministry the other day. theres a jail for men. the women and familes who want to visit, have to get a ticket and wait outside for their number to be called for literally hours before they can go in and visit. so a church bought a building right across the road. the open up and serve coffee and just offer a place for the ladies to chill with their kids. serve coffee and just be Jesus to these people. it was awesome. the ladies who we all chatted with were super fun. a student brought a guitar and was chatting it up with some ladies so i was just holding the guitar for them. a staff of the organization came up to me and said, "you play two songs" ummmmm what? i say, "i dont know how to play this thing or sing" she says, "well you have twenty minutes..." hahahaha. grrreat. i grab brett our guitar man. two ladies, sophie and leilani and i head upfront with them to sing a couple songs. fun times.
so yeah. its been crazy. if you want more stories, please facebook me personally and i would love to send you some! also - my finances are still a bit lacking, so if you are looking to partner with someone and reach out to people, but are stuck at home with your amazing friends and families, you can through me! weeeee fun. join my team and we can all do it together. a big ol prayer/ finances/ hands and feet group.
magical. well the coffee shop is closing and that means i gotta pack up and walk back to the base. i love you all. i miss you all.
