This morning I had an incredible encounter with God. At the LASP praise and worship session we were writing about our walks with God so far this semester and I was overwhelmed by His faithfulness. He has given me peace despite my insecurities and shown me His love in so many ways. I am so grateful to serve such a merciful God!
While at LASP I also worked on a project that is due Friday with the other students in my Spanish class. I just happened to be in the office when the mail came and was delighted to find both a package and a post card from home! It was very exciting. After we finished our Spanish paper, I walked to ICADS with some of the other students in my group, and it was fun getting to know them a little more. On the way home from Spanish, Haleigh and I stopped at a super market to buy some poster board for her group's presentation. Unfortunately, neither of us knew the word for poster board, which led to an awkward conversation with a guy working there and eventually ended up with us looking up the word for poster in a dictionary and being sent away empty handed. Apparently poster board is hard to come by in this town...we checked two huge super markets and ended up deciding to ask at LASP tomorrow.
The sun was setting during our walk home and the view was absolutely marvelous. When I got home I worked on some homework for a little bit (I'm going through a phase of little motivation, so it was slow going) and then ate dinner with Tony and mamá. The entire conversation was consumed by Tony's teasing about homesickness and we all had a good time.
Shortly after I returned to my homework, some friends of mamá came to visit. It was fun to meet them and they stayed all evening talking and laughing. Again, the language barrier made me dream of fluency. Some day I will get there. Today I'm content with growing every minute.
