Another week....

So I just finished my last week of language school for 2 more weeks. It's a good feeling because I don't think I could've taken another week of Spanish school. It was fun, but it was difficult and I'm excited to go back to our ministry sites. This last week was pretty difficult for me because I kind of just felt like I was hitting a brick wall and not really learning anything. However, I've been told just the contrary that I have been learning things and that my Spanish has improved a lot. So your call.
Overall, my class went well because I was learning a lot of the grammar. On the other hand, it was difficult for me because a lot of the other people had the same class and they were able to talk about what they were learning and be able to give each other hints and what not. But I was the only one taking my class and it was therefore difficult for my because I didn't have anyone to relate to. But the important thing is that I made it through. It was one of the most intense things that I think I've ever done. I'm really glad that I did it though and I feel that I have a little more confidence in my Spanish.

So on Monday we start our ministry sites again and I'm excited to go back and see the patients. This time is going to be somewhat different in the fact that we're supposed to plan activities for the patients. We haven't exactly planned any activities yet because we don't know what resources we have and what the rules are or what is against the rules. So it basically sounds like whatever we want to do, we're able to do.

Let's see...I can't really think of what else is new with me. There honestly hasn't been anything too exciting happening. Today I went to the market and bought 2 new shirts because I realized I brought more pants than shirts, which is pretty pathetic. I bought 2 shirts for 20 quetzales, which is less than $3. So I thought that was a pretty good deal. So now I just need to get them cleaned and I'm good to go =)

I keep getting little cards and things in the mail, so that's pretty exciting. From G&G Kuenzel and from Tom and Shirley I just got those today, Saturday. And tonight I'm going to a free jazz concert in Central Park, So that should be exciting. And tomorrow, probably the 2-hour long church service and then who knows after that. This weekend is a lot different because I don't have any homework for Monday so I'm at a loss of what to do. Yes, I realize that I"m in Guatemala, but a lot of things cost money to go do.

But I'm still loving it here and each day I think the temperature rises. So it gets a little hot during the day. But it's fun and awesome that I'm able to be here.

Love you and miss you all!!!
