Update from yesterday: A few of us went to one of the Catholic churches in our neighborhood, just to see what it was like. I had only previously been to a Catholic funeral, but not Mass. It was interesting not only because it was in Spanish but because there were three baptisms. If you know anything about the way they do things, you know its nothing close to the CoC. The church was beautiful on the inside. It was definitely an experience, but I think I will be going to the Iglesia de Cristo from now on.
I'm doing better on keeping up with my assignments and finding specific times for each subject. I get frustrated more now when I can't push what I want to say out of my mouth. My brain knows the words but just can't do both tasks at once yet. The friends that we've made at church are very patient with us. I really enjoyed drawing pictures to help one of the preacher's twin girls learn some English words. I think we're going to bring colors this week :) I love how God allows us to communicate cross-culturally even without the having the correct words. Just with small 2nd grade drawings, I was blessed.
I will say that I haven't gotten a whole lot of sleep...but that's just because of the great conversations with my roommates! My voice is also a bit hoarse....that's because of the endless singing that we do in this house! Doesn't matter where we're going or what we're doing, if a song is started people jump in and sing the whole thing. It does my heart good :D
Tango is in about 45 minutes and I'm excited!! We only have five boys to share among eleven girls, but it will be a hoot. Who knows, maybe we will all catch on quickly.
