Today was a day filled with grandness, literally filled with the enormity of world records. As we journeyed to Colonia, we stopped at a via point. It was a barn saturated with random collections in the Genus Book of World Records such as "The Largest Key Chain Collection," "The Largest Matchbox Collection," and "The Largest Pencil Collection." The place even had the smallest pencil in the world and the thinnest pencil in the world. After exploring beautiful, little Colonia, crossing on the Ferry into Argentina, and going on our first outgoing in Buenos Aires we stumbled upon another feature of "grandness": the second widest street in the world. It's vastness was very intimidating when we crossed it, at one point being nine lanes long on one side, but it was a remarkable thing to absorb and soak in, in this new culture. It seemed to me that all of these are such random things to count and keep track of. However, this can be taken as a reflection of mankind as a whole, how we keep track of things. Whether it is of wrongs against us, or the latest gossip, we have a fascination and habit with "keeping records." Praise Jesus that salvation in Him is out of His love, which keeps no records of wrong and endures all things.
