Just a quick update. More sponsorship letters have gone out in this past week and I'm slowly finding out that God will provide. People that I didn't expect to donate much are surprising me and it's so beautiful to know that I have the support of friends and family. I'm still working on getting more out in the mail and via email.
I'm still not sure when my exact departure date is. I hope to find out in the next week or two. Once I know that, I will be able to set up my sending forth mass which will *hopefully* be held at the Newman Center at TU providing Fr. Matt will be available that day. I'll keep everyone updated.
OH ONE MORE EXCITING THING! I made a Peruvian dessert Friday night. I think it was quite delish and I still have some in the fridge :) I shared it with some friends that thought it was good too. It's called "leche asada" or "roasted milk". It's really simple and easy to make with only a few common ingredients: eggs, sugar, vanilla, evaporated milk (some recipes use real milk), and cinnamon sticks. However, don't let the simplicity fool you, ovens are still hot when you make this dish...I have not 1 but 2 burn marks on my left arm. fail.
I've also been working on my Spanish a lot more. I have officially changed my phone into Spanish so I'm constantly reading some common-ish words and I'm able to use predictive text in Spanish so that's fun! Also, I've gone back to work at Applebee's to save up money for when I go...some of the cooks are still there from when I worked there before and I told them that they can only talk to me in Spanish. I've already noticed that I'm getting more confident with speaking it and hearing it is getting easier too (but that's still a tricky task).
Well, this isn't a quick update but as I was typing I realized I had more to tell you all than I thought!
Blessings.
