Praises and Sneezes

Well this past week, the Lord has answered some prayers and lifted my spirits knowing that many more praises are to come in the next 5 weeks! First of all, me and Timothy are no longer alone in our big house-we have 3 more roommates. All boys for now, but there is a possibility of one girl moving in the beginning of July, so keep praying for some females haha!One guy is an American who is actually engaged to an Argentine girl here, one knows English and Spanish, and one only knows Spanish, so we now have some diversity in the house and are able to practice our Spanish a lot more. We are supposed to get internet and tv this week, so our house will be really hoppin then!

Classes are going well and that's another praise! I am understanding more and more of the conversations around me, which is making everything a lot more enjoyable haha! We have been working hard and our teacher, Lucas, has been patient with us and our questions. I am now praying for more people to speak with that only know Spanish because it is easier for me to practice with them-I am more focused on using only Spanish.

This week and next are final exams for all the students, so we didn't get to meet with all of our speaking partners like usual. I did get to meet with the girl that I wrote about in my last post and we went to an art museum and talked there. She came to an asado we had with friends last night and I am supposed to meet up with her again today, so pray that we can have deep conversation and that she will see a difference in me and the people that in the church group here that we hang out with.

Apart from class and seeing more of Cordoba this week, I have had a serious case of the sniffles. I started off just sneezing a lot and that turned into a mild case of the flu. I was in bed most of the day Thursday but I am feeling much better now. A cough is still lingering a little, so pray that I will be fully healthy again soon.

Its hard to believe I have already been here a month! I have had lot of ups and downs, but am looking forward to the month ahead and feel confident that God has a lot more in store for us here in Argentina!
