This week was filled with some neat cultural experiences:
Tuesday night – I got to attend the English class,
Thanksgiving dinner at my church. I got
to meet some really cool ladies from different countries and cultures, who come
together to learn English. One of my
friends gave a great lesson on the history of Thanksgiving so that everyone
could follow (whatever level), combined with a Pilgrim and Native American skit
starring…da, da, da…us!!! Quite
memorable. J
Thursday – I had a surprise day-off, which turned into an
experience of making zucchini bread. I
tried my hand using sunflower oil and made a big mess, and I was really happy
with the way it turned out! That evening
I sat in on a local, Spanish, Christian, university group meeting, which my
apartment hosted. Big groups are
inevitably harder for me to understand, but I enjoyed the atmosphere of the
group a lot. I finished the night with
my now-weekly tv series with my Spanish roommate. It’s a Spanish drama series called El Barco, and believe it or not, I think
it’s helping me with my Spanish comprehension!
Friday – In the evening I watched four Spanish kids for a
few hours, coming after prayer for the Lord to help me. He did!
It was a fun time of being taught Spanish by little children, having dinner
around a heated table, playing hide-and-seek and an imaginary game (where I had
no clue what was going on J),
coloring, checking out their Christmas lists (here they go to the wise men, or Reyes Magos), and just being crazy. After leaving their house, I joined my
friends for the end of a fiesta, Downton
Abbey style, for one of our friends who is getting married in December. A lovely night indeed.
