My Days

Sometimes people ask me what I do on an average day so let me tell you. It changes everyday. Although tomorrow I start my Spanish classes so that will lead to a more scheduled life, as that will be 9-12 every morning Monday to Friday. Also once my mentor gets back from vacation, which she deserves greatly, I will be going to do evangelism training/work with her in Pantitlan (the region she works out of) ever Tuedsay afternoon. Also during that time will be my mentoring. Thursday evenings I help out with an English Book Club that is in this region (Coyocan) which is how I will describe as either the white ave. or 17th ave for all of you Edmonton and Calgary people. The book club is studying 'the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' and is in essence an outreach, as well as a service for people wanting to learn Spanish. Then on Sundays I am back in Pantitlan to attend the cell church there. In my spare time I have been and will be doing a lot of reading, cutlural books mainly to try and help me understand the culture I know live in. As well, I try and visit internet cafes daily to keep in contact with everyone from back home.

The language barrier is seeming less danting lately as me and my landlady Conchita (who is taking English lessons at eighty-two years of age) have a few conversations back and forth in the languages. Just this morning we discussed how I had a good sleep, how my classes start tomorrow and that the maid is coming tomorrow morning to clean my room. Two days ago we had a discussion about how when I go up to the roof to hang up my laundry I should take keys with me as you never know when Conchita will take off and look all the doors behind her.
