First week of Teaching!

We started having teaching this week, last week was more orientation type stuff. So, we had a guy named Miguel come. He was from Culiacan, was in his 40's and has a wife and 3 kids. He was a great teacher. He had Bible references for each point and had fun stories for many of them. It also felt like he really cared about us and wanted us to understand what he didn't know at our point in life. We also started language classes this week. I am in the advanced Spanish class with Ruth leading it and Amber and Casey as the other two students. We are going to learn more vocabulary words, some "Christian" words, and hopefully practice conversational Spanish. It should be fun. This week we also had a surprise party for one of the girls here. She was turning 12, so we had a piñata and some games. It was fun. The most fun I had this week, though was washing clothes by hand. It really wasn't too bad, but hopefully it won't become a common chore for me. I think that is about all we did this week. I also put more pictures online and I also have a link to my friend Heather's pictures, so you can see more if you want.
