Day 34 In Itagui

10/22/2012 13:11
I dreesed up as fancy as I could, taking into consideration what I had to work with, and off we went to Medellin for Uncle Melvins baby shower. It was a half hour drive, and abuelito didnt exactly know where it was. We got off at one house nearby because we saw baloons and heard music, but as we...

El calor se esta haciendo insoportable, de un dia al otro. El sol es mas intenso aqui que en E.U. Quizas por estar en tierra mas elevada, mas cerca al sol. Con este sol, la mayoria de las hermanas solo salen temprano y siguen hasta las 10. Aunque en el domingo por la mañana las calles estan casi...

Day 32 in Itagui

Yes, I know it¨s spanish day, but I'm feeling american today. Despite the fact that I've adapted fairly well, there's a couple things I don't think I can ever get used to. Ketchup. Aparently, tomatoe sauce is non existant here. Instead, they use the word tomatoe sauce to refer to ketchup. And...

Its been a month from today since I came to Colombia. I feel I've made some progress in the past month. As far as food goes, you put it on my plate, I´ll eat it, simple as that. Sure I have my preferences, but like the apostal Paul I´ve learned the importance of being all things, or in other...

Estos ultimos dias en Itagui se mantienen oscuros con una constante llovisna. No he tenido la oportunidad de salir a predicar en esta semana. Es que en Itagui, si Tia Sor no sale, yo no púedo salir. No hay mucho apoyo a la salida al grupo, entonces si no tienes areglos de atemano con una pareja...

In recognition of the phrase "A picture is worth more than a thousand words", and due to my lack of inspiration, I have 17 thousand words for you. (Photos added to photogalleries Jardin and Itagui).  -D.V.

No se como empezo... Solo se que me desperte a las 5 de la mañana al escuchar los lloros y llantos desde la cama debajo de la mia (vea photo 134 de photo gallery Jardin). "Estoy aburrida! Ya no puedo dormir en esta cama!" Era la voz de mi abuelita. Esneda trato de carmarla, y le pregunto ¨¿Que te...

Last night was my public talk in Jardin, and it went pretty well. It even got me a stalker. After the the meeting I went to Luis´s (Sebastian´s dad) cheeseburger stand in the park. I took a seat right in front of the stand and I was just about to take my first bite into that beauty of a burger,...

Aunque Jardin casi siempre es tranquilo, los fines de semana son una gran excepcion. Todavia no entiendo porque es tan turistico, pero cada fin de semana vienen gente de toda Colombia. Hasta me he encontrado con americanos y una familia Hindu. Muchos vienen de lejos solo para atender a misa aqui....

Day 25 in Jardin

This weekend, I´ve been the man of the house. Sounds scary doesn´t it? Grandpa left for Itagui yesterday to run some errands, leaving me in charge. This basicly consists of making sure we have milk and making sure grandma doesn´t get lost. This morning we had to move all our stuff to the...
