Iron Man is the Ugly American! We have been at the Center for Intercultural Studies for 2 weeks now and boy, does it change your perspective on life. David and I watched the Avengers last night with a classmate and the whole time I kept noticing all the blunders we have learned about in class. Tony Stark may be the most noticeable and stereotypical "American" with his post-modern philosophy, loud music, and incessant movie references (to people frozen in ice or from other planets that would NOT get them). In other words, after 2 weeks of diligent work in class, I think it is time for a movie day--I'd even be willing to write a paper on it!
Actually, this class is really interesting. We live with 34 other adults and 20 kids on campus and are having a blast during our free times watching the kids play and developing relationships with other missionaries from many sending organizations. There is a lot of critical thinking homework, but it sure shows how amazing God is!
I am excited, but won't bore you with the details! Looking forward to applying all this in Bolivia ASAP!
