Estas bien? NOOOOOOO! AYUDA ME POR FAVOR

So a half hour in to the new house I decided to go to the bathroom and brush my teeth I turn on the tap and put my toothebrush and toothpaste down on the sink and the whole entire sink falls and shatters all over the ceramic floor and water is gushing out like a gizer . Evidently the girls heard the noise and asked ; are you ok? I yelled no!. This was like at 11 at night so we called Will cuz we didnt want to call the girls from the administration, he came and cut the water and laughed at us so much.
They all said it was my bienvinidos.... haha . A piece of ceramic cut my leg but its not very deep more than anything I felt extremely bad for breaking the sink ( which I didnt really cuz apparently it had been loose and the girls told Will to come fix it and he never did... )
We are making memories

Travels & Valcanos

I don’t know if some of you have heard but there was a volcano erupted in Chile. Well my flight from BA to Lima was cancelled on Thursday and was rescheduled for SUNDAY NIGHT. That was really fun calling the airline and trying to schedule an earlier flight in SPANISH. I am pretty proud it all worked out.

The problem was that from Lima I had to take a bus of 13hours to Arequipa. Except I had to teach on Monday. And from Arequipa the Valley is another 4 hour bus ride. So I decided it was probably cheaper and easier to just buy a light from Lima to Arequipa. so I did that except my flight from BA to Lima arrived at 9pm Sunday night and my flight from Lima to Arequipa wasnt until 6 am Monday morning so I slept at the airport.
It was actually quite a nice sleep I had I must admit. Problem was I woke up and was all confused I went straight to the boarding without going to the counter. it was quite funny I almost went through security and then realized wait a minute i dont have a boarding pass HAHA man I looked dumb but it was really cuz I slept so well and woke up only an hour before my flight.
Nadia and Hannah missed their flight at that airport once there must be something in the water. All in all I had a good flight back arrived at the Valley around 9pm. Will came and helped me with my luggage I bought little gifts for the ppl here from Argentina and they were so happy
it was nice it felt as thought I was coming home to a family.
I aslo moved in to the new house.it has heating what a great thing to come back too.

Mi amiga Olivia

Mi amiga Olivia,
While in Ba I stayed in a Hostel with a room with 8 other beds. There was only one bed being used by a nice girl named Olivia. The most surprising thing to me is that Olivia ( her Spanish name) is from China. She is in BA to study Spanish for an entire year. Because it is a little difficult to get an apt being a gringo she has been staying at the Hostel. She has classes almost everyday except weekends.
I asked  her if she wanted to spend the day with me Saturday
She agreed so we seriously had the funnest day together at the botanical gardens and the Japenese garden and visiting the parliament buildings together.
The funnest thing is that she doesn’t speak a word of English and I don’t speak a word of Chinese so we just spoke Spanish to each other the whole entire time.
When I left Sunday she accompanied me to the bus station and we said goodbye. She cried, and made me cry telling me ‘’ tu eres mi major amiga aqua’’ meaning: you are my best friend here.
The thing is that I am rather sure that it is true. She doesn’t have many friends and it is rather hard for her. Now I want to go to China.
I love that connection you can have with a person, we only really spend two whole days together but I really bonded with her even if we both couldn’t speak very much Spanish. It was as though that was what linked us together, we both had patience with each other and we both had our dictionaries handy looking for words to explain situations.
It made me realize how we live in such a beautiful world full of different cultures and really all every needs is human contact, connection. Olivia made my trip worth while and I will sincerely miss her very much.
Gracias amiga

My stupidness saved my life

I really enjoyed my time in BA. The city is beautiful reminded me a lot fo Montreal but a hundred times better  It has a great mix of old history and modern architechure.
I was a little nervous about travelling solo but I got the hang of it and I did pretty well. So this one day I decided to go to this really nice park. It is in a very nice neighbourhood en BA. I was in this big park and I entered and walked all the way to the end of the park and sat on a bench. I took a couple of pictures about 200 meters from me was a nice couple hanging out. I sat there for a while. A young guy walked by and I asked him ‘’ Desculpame sabes si hay una salida par aqua’’ I was asking if there was an exit at this end  of the park. The guy came really close to me and started talking to me really fast, I couldn’t understand what he was saying so I kept saying QUE? He repeated again and put his hand on my camera. I still didn’t understand.  I then realized that he had one hand in his pocket pretending to have a knife.  He then asked me if I wanted a knife in my neck. I was still all a little confused so I answered ‘’ no porque?’’ HAHA.  Then I realzed he was robbing me but it had clearly not worked, he wanted my camera, so I said ‘’ no por favour no mi camera’’ so he said ‘’ money money give me money’’ at this point I started to be a little scared ( because I realized what was happening) I looked and the couple on the bench and the guy stood up realizing I needed help. So I stauled a little bit looking thru my purse pretending I didn’t know where I kept my money. Meanwhile , the other guy nearby came closer and my robber was a little nervous so I ran as fast as I could.
With my money and my camera. It was after that it hit me and I started to cry, I ranned to the nearest phone and tried calling Tom I just wanted to hear his voice but I forgot he was on Terrain… so I just cried and cried and cried.
Now I am able to really laugh about it and be really thankful that my Spanish isn’t THAT great 
I also belive God really protected me and all of this could have been a lot worse.

176??????????????????

I weighed myself at the airport today I almost cried.

Es la culpa de la COMIDA!!!!


That's it I am on fruit and water until I see my husband again.

No way Im gonna be 20 pounds heavier after not seeing him for 4 months.

That time I was in Lima...

So I took a 13 hour bus to Lima.
For real it is like better than a plane they serve you supper and breakfast. I really loved Lima, the beach is beautiful, the only thing I didn't like is that life is a little more expensive and you get ripped off as a gringa. So I stole bread from my overprices hotel to have lunch on the beach.
I shopped a lot and just enjoyed the beach, it felt like a real vacation.
Funny story, when I was walking around town a man stopped and asked me for directions. I told him I am not from here, he said '' really??''. BAHAHAHA. Clearly I am a gringa what an idiot. He didnt chatted me up for twenty minutes, typical peruano!

Lima,Palabra de Vida and now Buenos Aires

I haven't posted in a while and Tom complained. What? I didn't even know how faithful you people were to my blog but I am happy you care.

Last Tuesday I took a 13 hour bus ride to Lima. To be honest it was the best bus ride of my life. Its better than a plane, they feed you supper and breakfast. I also slept super well. After so many people told me to be careful in Lima I was pretty freaked out. Basically I just stayed in Miraflores and it was great. The shopping was amazing.
Thursday I took a plane to Buenos Aires. Kristina and her friends came ot pick me up at 4 am at the airport :). We headed straight for the school. I felt like I was at Word of Life family campground 1998.
I am glad I went. Glad I met Hindor and got to see her life and I realized aswell that I am so not made for Bible school. I was there a weekend and already felt a little trapped.
This past year I havent been really close to God. Now I am , now I know I cannot live without Him. However I am so far from that lifestyle, everyday being surrounded by christians, I dont really get the point tbh. People asking me questions like '' so what has God done in your life''. '' how long have u been a Christian'' '' what are you taking back with u of this weekend here'' .. '' what have you learned, what has God taught you?``
 What I have also learned is that its okay, its not for me but its not wrong, its just different.
I am glad I had the opportunity to see Krik and to sort of rekindle our friendships.
Now I am in BA and I absolutly love this city
