CBA CUP

This bull just appeared out of nowhere, and we all did it! It was too funny! I only lasted about 3 seconds.

      Today was a long but wonderful day. Mr. Fulfer, Patricia, Fernando, Nicco and myself left the house around 8:30am and drove about 20 min. away to help with a youth soccer tournament. The CBA cup was put on my a local church, and kids from the ages of 12-16 (I think?) There were hundreds of kids that came to play soccer. Each team of 6 had to pay around 100 pesos to be in the tournament, and there was a speaker from Buenos Aries who told his story of overcoming drugs. We were there to aid in any way we could, but we ended up watching the soccer games and playing ourselves ;) These guys from Argentina are GOOOOOD at soccer.. their technique would blow your mind. We were there until the sun went down, and I met some really cool people. There was a group from Holland that came to Argentina for a mission trip and they stood out just like me. Last night, it was below 0 degrees in Celcius, and I moved my mattress to the entry way where the heater was. I didn't sleep well, because I had nightmares that my blankets caught on fire. The heater is fairly old, so there's a large gas flame inside that burns at high temperatures. You have to light it with a match, then you're set. However, your chair might melt if you sick too close, obviously the chair in this situation would be plastic.

                     We brought a thermus with hot water and mate to drink during the games. It's very common for people to bring a thermus of hot water and the yerba mate so they can drink it wherever they are. Mmm.. mate dulce is fantastic (mate with sugar.) It warmed us up in this 30 degree weather!
