Our first week has come to an end!


















We are done with our first week of school!!! YEA! The weekend is here! It was a good week and i learned a lot!!! there were some times when i had no idea what was going on but thank God for mario and dee! The teacher's only talk in spanish to you and when i found that out i thought i would NEVER learn anything! But i have learned so much already! It amazes me! I have 4 classes everyday: 2 grammar classes, a language class, and a phonetics class. My favorite class is phonetics because we actually leanr how to speak spanish and i have a good teacher.
Not much else has been happenin this week. We've been very busy with school. Sunday after church we went to a city called Coronado and ate some gallo pinto. Then we drove to Los Cuadros where our other church is located and drove around there for a couple ofminutes. We didn't stay very long because it's so dangerous. The church has recently had a shooting and so we can't go tothe church anymore. But Raychel got some good pictures of the ranchos and of a big hill that we drove down.
On tuesday i went to a basketball game that pastor blake actually plays for. it was a good game! they won by like 15 points or something like that. it was a pretty big game, they show it on tv and everything! pastor blake said they are ranked number 1 in the country! A lot of the youth from the church went and we talked to a lot of them during the game. It's amazing how you can build a friendship even with a language barrier! Everyone just comes up and starts talking to you in spanish and somehow we communicate! It's hard to explain but it's really neat! I just can't wait until we can actually have a full conversation with them!
On Wednesday we took 2 buses to Gloria's house and walked 20 minutes up a steep hill to get to her house! it was good exercise!
Thursday (Last night) was Otero's night! We had some yummy pizza and then i watched the Pittsburgh/Miami game!!! I am very excited that iget to watch football here! And now we are at today. We had a fiesta about an hour ago for all the new students.And tonight we are going to Carlos and Gloria's church and afterwards we'll probably go look at the transvestites downtown.
Austa Luego!
