I feel like I am writing too much on the blog, but I just am so excited to be meeting so many brothers and sisters in Christ each day I am here. I joke with Pastor Wilma and her husband, Alvaro that I need to write down everyone´s name as I meet them so I can keep them straight, but in all reality, I am not joking about that! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Today I accompanied Wilma and a girl about my age to a women´s meeting in a part of Montevideo that is (I believe) called Mision San Jose. We did a Bible study with two women who grew up their whole life in this neighborhood. One woman married when she was fourteen years old. It was difficult hearing their stories and imagining my life and all the unnecessary things I have that I never thought I could live without. While, I am still brushing up on my Spanish, I feel like I can understand the gist of conversations going on, so I can´t give details as to what was talked about, because I am sure I misunderstood some of it.
When we returned to the church, Wilma prepared for the church council meeting. I have never attended a church council meeting in the United States, but I imagine aside from the different language, they are very similar. I will spare any more details on that, too.
I am meeting with the head of La Obra tomorrow morning and we are putting together a schedule for me. YAY! Well, I am off to bed.
I love the comments, by the way, so keep them coming.
