I took my other 2 exams today. Art History was pretty hard, but at least it's over! I just relaxed this afternoon, and it felt so nice! After lunch, I loaded all my pictures up on facebook, and I updated this blog a little bit. That actually took quite a while. Then at 7pm we had Encuentro. It was set up differently for the lent season. They had rugs on the ground, and we took off our shoes and sat on the rugs. They had the lights off and candles everywhere. It was a time of reflection of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross. We were challenged to think about something we could give up or change for lent. After we could go up to the front and they put ash on our foreheads. I've never done that before, and it's different than how we would normally start a lent season, but it was a good reminder. After Encuentro we went back for dinner and she made us the chicken burgers that I love! After that I got to skype my mom. It had been a while since I got to chat with her, and it was great! Tomorrow is looking like a good day so far! I'm excited for the weekend to come!
