Today's blog will be a little bit shorter.... I think.... since others are waiting for the computer. Today was a lot like yesterday, but we had a few different orientation sessions. This afternoon we made vegetable soup from scratch! This means we took the ingredients we got from the market yesterday, washed them, disinfected them, chopped them into pieces, boiled them, and flavored them. It was a great experience! We were also given a cook book with recipes we can make from the ingredients that we can find here. I'm looking forward to learning lots of new recipes.
This afternoon we had four more sessions on worldview, planning our ministry schedule in Conima, adapting our stories to the Aymaran culture, and the "simple church" (basically the church based on the New Testament model). It was all great information, and I had not heard several of the topics that John brought up. There is definitely a lot to think about....
For dinner we got together with the Huancane team at their house and had chicken and rice. Before dinner I went with some of the team to the chicken restaraunt to buy dos pollos, and Jeremy L had me order it myself. It was just a simple sentence, but it's great to be using my Spanish again. My listening comprehension is already coming back pretty quickly, but I still need prayer!
Anyways, that's about it for today. Tomorrow we are learning how to hand wash clothes in a bucket, and we will be making more detailed plans about our ministry in Conima. Adios!
Thanks for the post Emily. I’m very grateful for your opportunity to honor God in this way.
