It´s crazy that it has already been 2 weeks since I arrived in Mendoza. Each day feels quite long, but somehow the weeks are going by quickly. I am getting the hang of how the base is run, but I´m definitely still adjusting! This past week we had a team leave to hike the highest mountain in both the Southern and Western hemispheres, Aconcagua. They have been preparing for about a year for this trip. We also have a team in India right now, and another team leaves next week to go to Haiti. Also, there is currently a Soccer DTS being held at the base. Ireally enjoy getting to know the staff and the current DTS students. Being around this school has actually helped me process more of my own DTS school. I´ve seen more and more how God had specific purposes in taking me to Destination Paradise and that reminds me that He has specific purposes in bring me here to Mendoza for this season.

I´ve been spending a lot of my time helping out with general things on the base like cooking and raking. I´ve also had the opportunity to help out with the comedor ministry which cooks food to take to the city center to share a meal with homeless people. Comedor occurs every Friday. My mentor has a heart for relationships and for building connections within the community. I really appreciate being paired with Ang because I get to see the impact she´s made by loving people and having genuine relationships with those she has met within the community. Again, God reminds me of the power of love and relationship. He´s all about love and relationship.
Last but CERTAINLY not least...there is an amazing ice cream shop within walking distance from the base!! And you can buy an incredible amount for the small price of 6 pesos...uhhh maybe $1.50 USD. Last night I had dulce de leche flavored ice cream, wowzah!
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dulce de leche in Spanish is candied milk. Found as both a syrup and a caramel candy, it is prepared by slowly heating sweetened milk to create a product that is vaguely similar in taste to caramel.
