"Galleta-logía"
Something a little light-hearted to finish the week off... among the random things that happen here in this country there are tonnes of people with personalities that are distinct to say the least... let me tell you about my new friend the professor of "Cookie-ology"... "galleta-logía" in spanish.
Tuesday afternoon I was having bible study with my girls and a man approached selling cookies. Now as the convo went on the laughter almost reached hysterical levels as he went through his sales tactic...
"Galletas (cookies/crackers) with sodium chloride anyone???"- Sodium chloride being salt for any non-science people
"Benzene anyone?"- code word for chocolates that have the same shape as the chemical structure of benzene... rotating double bonds you say?
...and on and on it went... my spanish vocab missed half of it but the girls were quick to explain...
As I think looking back on it... how cool is it that my bible study is full of science students and that we could laugh together over something as nerdy as "scientific cookies?" God has totally placed this bible study together so that we can connect over cookie-ology or whatever it is that we've been through as science students.
Wednesday morning bible study happened again but with a different twist. Tuesday afternoon I lead a study with the four girls I work closely with in discipleship. Wednesday morning is a new group that Erika and Yavi are leading, so I get to sit back and watch as they take leadership over this group. It's been amazing! The new girls that are coming are awesome and it been amazing watching them share their pain and joy with each other. They're all connecting with each other but more importantly with God and its beautiful to see every week.
