Getting to Know This Place

Wow, I'm getting really bad at posting.

Okay, Monday we had an adventure. We lost our phone, and then tried to meet Sara for lunch but misunderstood and it took a lot time to sort out because we didn't have a phone, but eventually it did. We were going to go to the market, but we didn't get to because it was raining. So instead we played cards and made cookies and cake at Sara's, and brought them to Brisa's as a housewarming gifts. We also looked at some leather purses she sells, but we didn't get any.

On Tuesday we walked for two hours to meet our Spanish tutors at the Starbucks across town. We met Sam there (he really likes Starbucks), and then met with our tutors for almost two hours. After that we came back to the house and ate with our family, and then after some rest, we went to have coffee with Amy and Larissa from the youth cell group. It was kinda hard, because Spanish is still hard for us, but I'm really glad that we did, I thought it was fun...probably because I was the one mostly listening. And after that, we came back, and we were surprised by Sara and Montse with tacos for dinner and a movie! It was lovely.

Then today/yesterday, Wednesday, we woke up, went to prayer time, went to tutoring, had a combi/walking/taxi adventure getting home, had lunch with the family, did some more planning for church stuff, and later met Sara and went to Sam's Club to get some things we needed, then to Starbucks for more "bonding time".

Interesting thought of the day though: it's still so strange that you can get prescription drugs over the counter here.

It's nice to be here, now that we're actually getting to know people. At church we have friends, and we even met someone walking down the street that we knew! That's really exciting, because one of our main goals is to build relationships.
