Yesterday, church was amazing... It flew by and I didn't want it to end. Pastor Elí talked about where our help comes from. It was truly a great reflection time on all God has given me and allowed me to do and also a fantastic (yet not always fun) reflection on just how terrible, how sinful I am, you are, we all are. BUT (thank heavens there is a BUT) it also was a great reminder of how our sin and depravity serves to magnify the glory and perfection and justness of God! I was thankful for conversations with Toby (an old guy at church who I have become fond of) and with Giovanni (who is about 23 and goes to a local college in PR). He is going to take me salsa dancing soon to meet more people my age whoo hoo!! He understands and speaks English but I prefer to try out my Spanish so I'm continuing my immersion :) we had a Super Bowl party yesterday and made pulled pork and had a bunch of people over. Lynn was proud that I poured myself my first ever home-made mixed drink... Big milestone I guess?? I had a lot of fun with them and their friends! Then today I went to work with purchasing... I'm not going to lie- it's boring. It was a tough day for me bc I felt sad without my favorite work friends in audit. But I paid them a visit at lunch and had a blast! They bought me a coco limber yum!!! I am going to go to workout at Combat class soon and hit the hat early! Today I must admit- I sang ballads on a ear-deafening volume the whole way home with the windows open. I think I felt sorry for myself in my new rotation and just let it out...I munched on food, sang my heart out and for some reason was lead to tears. It was quite pathetic but gosh did it feel good and now I'm back to normal and ready for another awesome week! I guess culture shock hit me for a minute or so... Honeymoon was over. But wait, it came back as soon as I saw the beautiful ocean out the window!! :) pictured below is our delish American-style pork and the Super Bowl spread!
