I will try to write about a few different things in the next few days to give you all an idea of what has been going on.
In this section I want to share how thankful I am for my fellow adventurers Laura Dewlen and Victoria Gimben. We are the three musketeers from Grace College in Buenos Aires. Experiencing life here with them has been an incredible blessing. We are sharing similar struggles as well as similar joys. It's amazing what relationships form simply from sharing the same moments. There are feelings and experiences and language/translation jokes that few people here or at home would understand, and their support and friendship has been irreplaceable.
Victoria has been here about 3 months longer than Laura and I. Seeing where she has been in language learning and how she has grown and what she has experienced in the 2 months we have been together has helped me a ton. She is so transparent with her life and language learning struggles, and that has been a huge blessing to me. I know when I feel depressed or like I have not learned anything that she went through the same thing, and she survived. Seeing how far she has come gives me hope when I feel down. Besides this she has been a huge help in the student visa process, as well as much needed comic relief. :)
Laura has been my classroom buddy through all of this. We have been going through intensive grammar courses, 3 hours a day 5 days a week, along with our class of 10 other Americans. This girl has been with me step by step, studying and helping and pushing and watching over me, basically being responsible in all the areas where I am not. I would have been quite lost without her many times, literally. Thank the Lord she has a better sense of direction than I do. As part of our requirement for being students for Grace we are supposed to be speaking only Spanish all the time, and Laura is a pro at being disciplined and keeping our conversations in Spanish.
Vic and Lau, you are so loved I could not have made it this far without you.
