Weekend

This past weekend we our last long weekend of the semester.  Its hard to believe that we only have 4 weeks left!  Its crazy really.  But at the same time I’m ready for the break.  Tonight I’m watching Spiderman in Spanish because its on TV.  I don’t understand everything by any means, but SO much more than before.  It gives me great hope for the future!

Here are some random things from the weekend.

1. I got to play with this sweet little boy… sadly he didn’t feel good:(  But we still had fun!

 

 

 

2. I got to hang out with Abby and Abbey, Ligia, Rodrigo, and Melissa
3. I explained and played Ticket to Ride in Spanish… if you don’t know this game, its great!
4. I got to cook, which I love
5. And lastly, Abbey and watched these great videos that are put out by a ministry in her town.  Here’s the website…http://www.cityonahillproductions.com/  The ones we watched are the H2O videos. Sadly, they aren’t available to watch online.  But they are a really great series that walk through thirsting for the Lord and being satisfied by Him as the living water.  They would be really good conversation starters because they deal with issues that we can all relate to.  Loneliness, anger, doubt, insecurity, searching, not feeling fulfilled… One thing I loved is that they talked about how some people really do feel fulfilled in their life without the Lord.  But could it be possible that, although content, you have settled for contentment in one thing when something far greater exists?  He talked about taking his daughter to the beach, but since the pool was the first thing she saw, she never wanted to go to the ocean.  But as soon as she saw the ocean, she never wanted to go back.  Could it be that sometimes that is us?  We are, as CS Lewis says, “content to build mud pies in the slums instead of having a holiday by the sea… we are far too easily pleased.”

Anyway, even though we had some sickness, church on the couch, and less sleep than we would have chosen, I know that I for one had a fabulous weekend!
