Day 5 and 6

I am noticing that if I don't write about the day on the same day, I forget what I've done. It must be an age thing. Yesterday we had an unusual warm day for July with almost 75 degrees. The perfect day for going to the zoo. It was great. The kids had fun and we got to walk for a while. Then the kids got to go to play with their new friends and mom and I watched National Treasure.
This morning I went to church by myself, since the service lasts two hours and was all in Spanish. It was interesting to listen to the same music we sing at home, but with the lyrics in Spanish, songs like "just like I am" and "Open the eyes of my heart". The pastor had just come back from Atlanta, GA from a pastor's conference about evangelism.
After that we went to my uncle Jorge's house for an argentinian BBQ. It was very good. My cousin Carolina (14) is playing Snowwhite in a kids' play and we went to see her perform. It was interesting to see the kids looking at her, dressed up and with a black wig, and tons of make up.
It was funny to see a group of 14 year olds looking at Blake and Brett like they were celebrities, just because they didn't speak Spanish and were coming from the US. Poor Blake he was shy for a while, until somebody started to ask questions in English. He looked so little in the middle of all those kids, and they were fascinated.
I got to talk to my aunt for some time and it was a good conversation. I think God sometimes speaks through the people you least expected.
My mother's van, her means of working, since she uses it as a school bus, broke down this morning. It's the second time in as many weeks. It's bad news, because she doesn't have the means to buy another one, and at 71 she should begin to think about doing something else. Meanwhile she must rely on a "rescue" van that will help her do her route tomorrow and until she can fix her own van. Problems seem to never end. Hopefully it won't be nothing serious, though it looks like it is the hydrolic steering, whatever that is, it already sounds serious.
I hope to go to sleep before 1am and start getting adjusted to Buenos Aires times.
