I have arrived... I think!

I have been living in San Juan for almost a week now, and it still hasn't really set in. It probably won't really sink in for a couple months (or at least that's what people tell me), but reality is that I live on an island now. The first 5 days here have been wonderful, tiring and busy. I arrived on Friday afternoon, went to my apartment in an area on the island called Isla Verde and then had dinner with an incredible couple who pastor a church in San Juan called La Travesia. It's really been a blessing to come in to such great community right away. Matt and I had dinner at their house again last night to watch the season premiere of Glee... a little piece of home... however ridiculous that might be!

Besides meeting great people, our days are full of meetings, hanging out at high schools and working on our first real YLPR event happening on Monday! We are doing a movie night at a local movie theatre who allowed us to rent out an entire theatre for the night! We're praying that we max the place out with about 200 high school students from all over San Juan. The event will be a great opportunity to meet students, tell them about who we are and what Young Life is and will set us up for our clubs the rest of the semester.

Matt and I at our "office" (aka Starbucks) planning our first event

Matt leaves today to go back to Texas for the weekend, so the next  couple of days will be my first real adventure finding my way around and being on my own. I'm excited/ nervous/ I still can't believe this is my life. I'll be keeping you updated on how everything is going! Love you all and thank you so much for the support!
