Minus my roommate, because she'll get her own post!
Julia
'Shulia' is easier to pronounce than my name, so if I ever change it for convenience sake down here, it'll be to hers. Julia is one of the oldest students on campus, but rooms with Agustina, one of the youngest. She is very kind and full of good advice, and to the benefit of all has had training as a chef (nom!). She also gets out and about more than most, so I should start hanging out with her more when she goes for walks!

Angel
Before
Angel showed up, we were all told that we'd get along well with him,
because he's ''manso'' (gentle). With the exception of birthday
water-war retaliation, that initial appraisal was right on- a Cordoban
version of Josh Connor (for those of you who know him), and since he
does carpintery projects around the seminary, we're convinced he might
be Jesus, too.
Jorge
and his wife Zulema live off of the terraza, so it feels like they
don't live on campus at all. Zulema works during the day, and so Jorge
comes down every once in a while to find a book or start a theological
debate (feminism, literalism), or occasionally a national one (Chile
versus Argentina and/or
the rest of the world). Every seminary needs someone like Jorge:
intense but dedicated. They met last year at the seminary, and were
married in January. Who would've guessed that the seminary would be a
good place to honeymoon? ;)
Mecha
Although
his name appears on class rosters as Daniel, Mecha is, well, Mecha. He
got his nickname (''lock'') when his hair was longer, and judging by the
amount of cowlicks he has even with the seminary-approved length, I can
see why it stuck. He met Jesus on the fringes of YWAM (which has a base
in his hometown), and would appreciate prayer for his two brothers who
aren't Christians yet. The group's adjective for Mecha is 'muy buena
onda'; translation- really cool, chill, and easy-going.
*I tried to attach pictures with each of these, but this computer is funny. I'll get photos up as soon as I can!
