Yep. I've been here for 10 days now. Buenos Aires is incredible. I'm so happy to get to come and share Christ's love. I've seen so much nationalistic pride, so much sincere religion, so much passion for bettering the world around one's self, and so much brokenness since I've been here. It breaks my heart to see people so misdirected.
God has been reminding me that we were created to be worshipers and we do that all the time. So much of our worship is misdirected. I've seen people worshiping soccer, fashion, success, fame, English, education, national identity, ideology, etc. I want to share my faith and my own story, but it has been difficult so far. They know that they need more, but they don't know where to look. However, because people have had a bad experience with the church, they don't want to look to Christ.
While here, I'm working on the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) Agronomy campus. So far on campus, my group has been working on a service project the name of which translates to"Improving the Quality of Your Life". We've been cleaning up the campus to show the students and faculty know that we are there to serve and not to be served. Several students have been coming up and helping. It's great. God is really showing His favor in big ways through people that don't know Him yet. :)
Monday I'm grabbing coffee with my new friend Tómas in the afternoon. Then Tuesday night I'll be merienda-ing with my friend Zac. I'm excited. Pray for that those times. God is good. I love His guidance. We need his hand and voice to lead us during these weeks.
See you soon. Love you all.
Comment if you read this, because I feel alone sometimes.
