Today was a tiring but great day. This morning at LASP we did an activity called our “Spiritual Journey.” We had all the chairs in our classroom set up in a big circle and we just went around and shared whatever was on our hearts. Some people shared their testimonies and others shared what God has been teaching us this semester. It was overwhelming to hear 40 stories of God's faithfulness and love, and I really enjoyed the activity a lot. I'm super grateful for the people God brought me here with, and I think he's really using this specific group of people to sharpen and shape each other in exactly the way He wants.
We had some really good discussions, and after lunch we headed over to ICADS. Haleigh and I stopped for Trits on the way to celebrate making it through this insane week, and Spanish class was really good. We had a quiz, which I think I did much better on than the one we took last week, praise God, and talked about the food in Costa Rica/USA.
My host mom and siblings picked me up from ICADS to go over to my host mom's parents house for the evening. Today was the 5 month anniversary of mami's brother's death, so the family was having a gathering to pray the rosary. It was a really nice service, and I enjoyed the evening a lot. I noticed how much easier its getting for me to not feel awkward but to just let things happen. Worrying about how I'm acting or what is coming next just makes life more stressful, and I'm able to be more genuine when I'm just living in the moment. We spent the whole evening with mami's family and their neighbors/friends, and everyone was exhausted by the time we got home at 10. No one could believe it when they saw me with my laptop while they were getting ready for bed. They thought I was studying...ha! I'm just as ready for bed as they are, so this is all for tonight. ¡Buenas noches!
