Well, much has happened since I last wrote a note/bulletin. :)
Day Four: 2/10/2008:
This past Sunday I went to the Capilla (church). It was very much the same. We still sit on those cushions and still enter whenever we can :). Our worship lasted about an hour…which was a big change since from LifeChurch. It was very good.
After church I went out to eat with the Meruvias (Patita is their daughter and we were GOOD friends!) We ate at Globos (kind of like Dumbos) and I ordered a silpancho. I thought that it was just a regular sized silpancho for like one person… boy was I wrong! It was most definitely NOT for just one person. I struggled just eating half of it! It was good though.:) After Globos, Wara, Patita and I just hung out at her house. It was fun! Sorry I can’t describe it any other way…haha.
Day Five: 2/11/2008:
FIRST DAY AT WORK! It went ok…to begin I was LATE! We totally miscalculated Trufi time! oops! Other than that though…it went ok…I didn’t really do anything at all. I barely taught. I told the kids to write their names, and color a circle red. Seriously that’s all I did. Then, I talked with Mrs. Torres and ate lunch at the Capilla with her and other office staff.
After work, Wara, Patita, and I went to the Cancha (the market place) to buy me some stuff. We were only there for a few hours and managed to buy me a green suit thingy for work and a cell phone! YAY! Thank goodness for the cell phone! For you Bolivianos my number is: 769-54582.
Day Six: 2/12/2008:
Second day at work and I was late again! I thought I could make it there by Trufi (public transportation…they’re like minivans). But I got off on the wrong stop, walked around, called Wara, walked around some more, crossed a bunch of roads and got on what I thought was the same trufi. However, I ended up getting on the one that brought me back home! So, I got off again, crossed the road, got on the next Trufi, and got off on the RIGHT stop, and just took a taxi the rest of the way! I was about 1.5 hours late this time! Mrs. Torrez was nice about it because I had gotten lost.
This time, I did teach my class. We have about 22 kindergarteners, so we split the group. Group A has English first, and then Group B. We got through about 3 pages each in the L.I.F.E.P.A.C.S. It was a lot of fun. Then, I had lunch with the 3rd grade teacher, who I helped out the rest of the day. (p.s. Allison: Jessika Asbum…well, I don’t know her newlast name…is the 4th grade teacher…she says hi:))
So, that brings us to right now, and I am once again on my bed writing this…but now I have a memory stick and am going to load these two notes online!
Ciao!
