ok so i finally took more pictures








today was my day off so i didn't wake up and cook. i got up around nine and went to the classroom to hear dr. bauman make the students really mad by playing the devils advocate. he talked about the meaning of meaning, the problem of pain, and then augustine vs palegius. that last one really gets them riled up! but is a debate that has been going on for over 1600 years... wasn't solved today.
sports time this afternoon was fun. it rained on us for a little while, but that always happens here. we played right on through! i played volleyball for three hours and the time just flew. tonight, we had staff small groups and then student small groups. i'm in jen's small group and it was really fun. we went to the mate factor and then we all just talked about really random things like is God really omnipresent? and why are guys so entertaining? then for student small group, me and mish took our girls to the mate factor... so two in one night for me! we all shared our "spiritual journey" and it is amazing how well i identified with different things in each girls' story.
you might be wondering... mate is a tea full of chlorophyll and antioxidants and is a really popular drink in south america. i had hibiscus-lime mate cold and it was soooo good. twice. it was deep pink in color and tart/sweet.
now i'm exhausted from my day off so gnight!
