Home, sweet home...

What an incredible weekend I just had! An hour ago, at about 6:30AM, a bus full of student leaders, staff, and STINT from the Buenos Aires Campus Crusade movement pulled into the city's bus station after an 11-hour overnight trip returning from a 4-day leadership training conference in the province of Cordoba. The conference took place in a small town about 1 1/2 hours away from the capital of Cordoba, which is where I studied abroad for 5 months in 2009. On our way there, we passed right through the downtown of Cordoba's capital early in the morning. What an fun and nostalgic experience it was to wake up to familiar surroundings as we passed through one of the cities in the world that I call "home." :)

The leadership training conference was so fun and encouraging, as I met staff and student leaders from the Vida Estudiantil movements in the Argentine provinces of Mendoza, Chaco, Cordoba, Santa Fe, Misiones, and Tucuman. What a blessing it was to see that God is moving on college campuses all around Argentina! There were about 130 people there this weekend, but in January, we'll all see each other again at Vida Estudiantil's summer camp and there will be twice as many people there then! :)

Below are some pictures from the weekend! Enjoy!


Two friends from my church in Cordoba that I met while studying abroad there! I was so excited to see them at the conference--what a small world!
