Today we took a break from pizza Monday and Steph cooked a house favorite, milanesas! Our teammate Ezequiel took the heart-shaped one, which is hopefully foretelling of an upcoming engagement in his life.

Today on our way to Alpha it was raining hard and the streets were flooding. We waded through knee-deep puddles on street corners to make our way up to Luz Urbana from the bus stop. On our way down the street we looked up and saw 2 beautiful rainbows! By the time the camera came out the top one was disappearing, but it was an awesome reminder of grace over our lives.

Coming off of 2 hours of sleep, we spent all morning/early afternoon making empanadas to sell in order to raise money for Luz Urbana. The best part of the morning? Wearing these awesome hats.

Later tonight we finally saw....HARRY POTTER 7. Well, the first part anyways. It turns out the 2nd part isn't coming out until July! Thankfully, Lord willing, we'll still be here in Córdoba at that time, and are already VERY excited for the great things July will bring.

Tonight we went over to our friend Dani's house for a pajama party with 17 of the girls from the Alpha course! We arrived late after our meeting at 11:30, but, as this is Argentina, we were still early for dinner, and for what would still be several hours of hanging out. Though some of the girls didn't sleep at all until daybreak, we had to awake at 6am in order to taxi across town and make empanadas for a fundraiser. Needless to say, one (or both) of us was more than reluctant to awake.

Today we spent anotherThursday afternoon (our free day!) at the park. We played cards, the guitar, drank mate, and then played a little 3v3 soccer match. The only hitch in the day was when a misdirected pass sent the soccer ball into the middle of one of the ponds. Thankfully one of our friends is a swimmer, and braved the disease-filled waters for several seconds to retrieve the ball.

Today we got together to watch the Argentina vs. Brazil soccer match at David's house, and afterwards went to Buen Pastor to meet people. As always, the Martin guitar, this time along with our friends Javier (from Argentina) and Heiner (from Germany), rounded out a great team.

Today we spent the morning at the Facultad de Ciencias Economicas (School of Econ), and this picture is proof of the reason that Joy and I are not currently supposed to be in college.

We had a special English Talk today because 2 of the most popular Argentinian club teams were playing in the Boca/River soccer match, so we took everyone to a bar and watched the game together. Here are Joy and I with Mariah, a girl who was down from TX serving for a week with her husband, and Nati, one of the girls who comes regularly to English Talk.
