"Natalie, you're doing the right thing." Sometimes the right thing doesn't feel "right" it hurts. It hurts so bad you want to cry. When I look back on the day that I left Jacksonville, I don't regret it. It was hard...really hard. I started crying before the 2 hours drive to the airport. But something my mom said stuck with me, its been 5 months since I got on the plane that day I sometime I think about what she said..."Natalie, you're doing the right thing".

I just finished reading "Mere Christainity" by CS Lewis. It is such a good book; I enjoyed it so much. It's crazy how truths from the Bible are true forever. CS Lewis explains such hard concepts in a really good way. Definantly a must read.

The only one standing in line....

I am a victim of the American culutre. I walk into the bathroom and automatically wait in line to use the restroom, everyone else walks in and stands in the middle of the floor. At ministry on the weekends I look for my own clean cup, latinos just pick up a cup off the table and use it. I got to lunch and eat my food in a timely ok, ok very quickly, when i finish everyone else is still cutting up their salads( i mean who cuts up your salad). I pick up my chicken to eat with my fingers, they sit and patiently eat it with a fork. Just some other things I have realized that are different being a gringa living in a latino world.

I have nothing to write...sry! BUT I will put a picture of 2 ridiculously good-looking favorite boys:)

This past week has been so busy and crazy. What a whirlwind of activity both emotionally and physically draining. I went on a campana (translating trip),so i completed another one of my "21 things to do before i turn 21". The trip really forced me to use what I have been learning, it was so great. Then on Wednesday we recieved the painful news that one of the PBB (the program I am in) boys had to leave. IT broke me heart to see him go, we are all so close. After that I went to a church in a poor neighborhood, I wish I could stay there the rest of my time in Argentina:)

you know your mejor amigas when...
