Sorry for the lack of blogs recently. It has been a whirlwind down here and I have been trying to get many things done. We have wrapped up the semester and are now moving into preparing for camp and our project in the south with the Mapuches people. It has been very exciting and exhausting time here in Buenos Aires the last month. This past weekend we had to leave the country to update our visas so we went across the Rio de La Plata to Colonia, Uruguay.

Colonia is a small town on the Rio de La Plata. It is the sight of an old fort with an amazing area north of the Fort that is now a quaint village. The water around the town is quite nice and it is a very calm and relaxing place, quite the opposite of Buenos Aires. We also got to spend time with the the STINT team from La Plata, a city about an hour south of Buenos Aires. It was quite rejuvenating and nice to leave the hustle and bustle of our metropolis for cobble stone streets. The boat ride over I can not say much about since I took a much needed and amazing nap. But on the trip back the boat went through some rough waters and bothered a few of the other people on my team.

I hope to return to Uruguay at some point to see more of the country and to get away from the speed of the city. I am starting to grow more accustom to the rapid pace and mass amount of people that are always nearby. The city is the 11th largest in the world and is one of the major centers of South America. I feel that my time here is helping me to grow and helping me to grasp on more and more to what God wants and desires from my life. It is awesome to see how when doing his work I feel that I am rewarded in many different ways I would have never expected. I hope to continue this growth and my relationship with Christ to continue to learn to love Him more and show others the love he has for me.
