Bowling!

For our small group meeting this week, we decided to take a break from our normal Bible study routine and go bowling. How fun and American! Here are some pictures from our group bonding experience.


This week I went to Humanities with Vanessa to a Linguistics class. I think it will be a good opportunity to get to know some students besides brushing up on my linguistic knowledge. I also signed up for an interior decorating workshop that starts next week through the Fine Arts college. Today I spent time with the Campus Crusade staff talking to people at the Medical School. We had some interesting conversations. From talking to a variety of Argentines, I've found a lot of people are really disillusioned with the church. They'll say they believe in God, but are wary of anything "religious." I recently enrolled in a Church History class through a Bible Institute. I think the class gives some insight into how things get distorted along the way, causing some of the issues that people have with the church. No one is perfect and putting lots of imperfect people together will never equal perfect institutions. We see this in governments, in churches, in schools, in business, and even in families. It's actually quite wondrous that with so many fallible people (myself included!), any sort of "good" organization can result.
Anyway, we've been blessed with really nice weather this week--lot's of sunshine and temperatures in the mid-70s. Spring is right around the corner! I'm enjoying drinking mate out on in the plazas.
