This is going to be quite the trip I think. My spanish is taking a crash course in sh sounds be cause they don't change the ll and y sound like they did in mexico. So here we go I'm going to do my best.
Also I did make it here, it was just late. Better late then never. Not to worry mom, but I had a 2 hour gap that I was off the grid. I had computer access I just choose not to use it. My phone didn't work in the airpot. I hadn't coverted my cash yet. I missed my bus to san nicholas because the plane in houston had a 2 hour machanical delay. Then we started off the terminal and had to go back because someone in the back I think was getting sick. I rode in row 17. I could see business class, owh. So I besides a couple speed bump I have made it.
For all those people that have met tom. He got me to work right away. I help tonight with a JH event and bible study. We did a question time. I shared a small portion of my testimony and also surprisingly got to share a favorite verse. In spanish. And yes I butchered my sh sounds and final just started talking like a mexican cuz I haven't made the switch yet. But I hope to get a little of that sound cuz it sounds so smooth. Back to the bible study, I shared a small part of what I got out of growth group last week. Which was Romans 8:26 and how that is rocking my socks.
This trip more than any of my one before actually feels alot like Romans 8:26. I felt like I should go but I haven't been super locked on positive why. It's been a 2 year process of wanting to come down but I just didn't know why. Maybe I had to grow up a little more to be ready, maybe some of these kids at the orphanage had to grow up, maybe I had to wait for some other guiding by God's soverign hands pushing me along the correct path. I don't know. Either way I have enjoyed my reading so far and am taking all chances to grow spiritually and linguistically.
Oh man Oh man this country is FLAT like Texas. Everyone is telling me I have to go north see the mountains. So I may be taking a quick trip up north before dancing to ride (El Tren a las nubes) (Train to the Clouds). Need to make a adjustment to the itinerary. Sorry mom.
Love you all and hope oregon is having great weather like we are here. I was over heating in my jeans today. Except all the locals were wearing Jeans. So I may not be fitting it tomorrow.
