Speaking Partner and Church

Since we didn't get to go to Iguazu last weekend, I got to spend time with my speaking partner, who's extremely agradable (amiable?). On Friday, we went to Casa Tomada (I think that's the name...) On the first floor there were little artesan shops, and on the second floor, there were two restaurants. It seemed kind of shady because there was hardly anyone in the restaurant, and it was 10:30pm. (People eat REALLY late here.) But, when we left at about 12am, the place was packed! She invited me to go to church with her on Saturday night - I was soo excited. It was just like a OneWay large group meeting, but in Spanish. It's so amazing that we worship God in many different languages, but He understands them all. Afterwards, everyone was so welcoming and excited that I was there. We talked a lot, and drank sweet mate and ate criolles.

Despues, my speaking partner, one of her friends, and I went to a little restaurant. It was getting late, (but still early for Argentines), but I went to Mooj's afterwards to meet with Shim. There was a Model United Nations Conference that weekend, and Shim's interning with OAJNU, who helped put together the conference. After the conference, they held a party. When I walked in, I thought I was going to suffocate from all the smoke. It seems like everyone in Argentina smokes! We left early, well...I think late, but I was ready to crash.
