helloooo

Today has been awesome. I ran with a couple of the people here at a university that is really close to the Villa (our house). We found out what classes we were in for spanish today.... :) I'm in the baby class. I'm just happy that there are some people here that are on my level. We went to the heart of San Jose later. I got attacked by pigeons and winked at by a couple ticos (that's what they call Costa Ricans), but it was fine... we have a lot of males here who have seen the movie Taken... and we have God.. so no worries! The city is packed, and people are EVERYWHERE. Oh... and the pedestrians do not have the right of way here. You walk out in the middle of the street. You get run over and die. Your fault. But I'm not planning on doing that any time soon:) 

Oooh it just started raining again. When it rains here, it rains HARD. I love it though. Anyways, we've been sharing testimonies, and it's just so awesome. So awesome. We are all weak and broken and sinners, but every single one of us knows that and desires the love of Jesus. That's all that matters, anyways. I got really excited in one of the guy's testimonies today. He was talking about how hockey consumed his identity for so long. I was just thinking of all of the times that I define people by the things that THEY do. I love finding out unique hobbies about people... but those things blow away. Sports blow away, music blows away, knowledge blows away, accomplishments blow away, status blows away... all of these things are nothing if they're not for love.
