almost over

I can't believe camp is almost over. It has gone by so quickly, and yet it has taken forever and a day to get through it all. My campers have been... interesting. that is an understatement, but whatever. I have had some amazing campers, during music camp. Those girls just blessed me. I felt like I was hanging out with friends more than campers. One of the campers was 18 and the others were 15. I loved it and I hope I get to stay in touch with those girls. I still have issues with alter calls because I see so many children go to the front without any look of understanding on their face. who knows, God might use it. But I tired of following up with the girls after chapel and askig them if they made a commitment to God and them giving me this blank look on their face as if they have never heard that phrase before. I try to tell them about Jesus and how He died and if we trust that His blood will cover our sins, then we don't have to pay for those sins but we can spend eternity with God in a right relationship with Him. I don't know if any of it gets through. Who knows.
Anyways, I am sorry that I haven't called ya'all yet. I don't really get reception at camp. But I will try as soon as I can to make the round of phone calls. And Kallie and Annie you two are first on my list!!!! I love you all and I am missing you. Please Kallie, keep reading these and keep me updated on what you are up to. Adios mi amigos!

a good sign

I live near a long thin park called Parque Forestal. It's really quite a nice park and it has a long stretch of a lane for riding bikes or jogging. And since I have a fear of riding bikes in this city, I jog. It's really pleasent. I usually listen to radioDisney on my mp3 player and jog along to Jonas Brothers, Beyonce, or Julieta Venegas. Great stuff. Yesterday on my jog I noticed that the trees were beginning to change. Fall has finally arrived and I am glad for the change. But as I was jogging through the falling leaves, I began to think about how much I like fall. And I had this special moment when I realized that I want to be here in Santiago, jogging through this park for many falls to come. After the past few weeks of cultural adjustment being a little more painful than normal, this was a nice thought to have.

la musica de chile

For a moment I would liek to ponder the music of Chile. You see, I listen to just about everything (except non-live jazz). Even country, although in this category I limit myself to Dixie Chicks and The Judds (only the old stuff). Here in Chile there is really only a few types of music. One, the corny romantic music that belongs on programs like "Delilah at night". Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I love this type of music. Another type of music is Reggaton (not sure about the spelling, but do I ever spell words correctly?). This is Latin America´s response to Hip Hop. Very good for dancing. I also love the fact that most Reggaton is in Spanglish, my favorite language. There is this other type of music that I like to call the "Corny Electric Piano Musica". Too corny for me and I can only take so much electric piano in one song. I am amazed at how much Englsih music is played here. And people sing to it. they actually know the words, but they have no clue what t

murderous thoughts for cats

I got home from work today, exhausted, only to face the horrible whining of the neighborhood cats outside my window. They used to be really loud, and then in the cold of the winter they disappeared. But now they seem to have returned in full force. I sure hope I can sleep tonight!
