I'm in the Tina, Tina, Tina! Ooooohhhh! (Justin Bieber anyone?)

Did you think I wasn't going to post? :) The past couple of days have been SUPER crazy. Our team arived in Buenos Aires on Tuesday morning and we have been going nonstop. I am SO incredibly thankful for the STINTers that are here. They know the language and how to get around and have been briefing us on the culture, history, and the language the past few days.

So far we've been to campus twice. There are 13 La UBA (The University of Buenos Aires) campuses, but Vida Estudiantil (Campus Crusade) only is present on 5. The campus me and 5 students are on is the Agronomy (Agriculture) campus, which is a 45 minute bus ride outside of the city (which I really like because it feels like a college campus and not in the middle of a busy city). There are many "wild" animals that roam around campus which is strange. When I say wild I mean dogs and cats. I haven't seen any llamas or horses yet, but I know they're there.

The past two days we've been on campus with two STINTers that know the campus and some students well. Basically, we walk around campus asking students if they have time to take a survery, Soularium. The STINTers either translate for us or we ask if they speak English. Surprisingly, a lot of students know English or they want to practice their English .

So far we've gotten into a couple of spiritual conversations and shared the gospel a few times. One Argentine student received Christ today on the Law campus! This is just one of the ways the Lord is moving. Students are interested in hearing about a relationship with Christ. When I have more time to update I'll share some stories about our time on campus.

Thank you for praying for us!

Buenos noches,
