I`m in my second week of classes and there`s a lot of work, but we have a lot of fun too. Right now I`m in the library on campus using their computers.
In recent news, my Chilean sisters came home from Scout Camp on Monday, and they are really great. They`ve already taught me a few slang words and I`ve had very successful conversations with both of them (I love how I rate success in my Spanish conversations by how well I was able to form a sentence). Also, the night they got back, they found a starving kitten outside, so the inhabitants of the house went from 2 to 5 over night. They found out at the vet that it`s a boy and Rafa named him Balù (like the bear from The Jungle Book).
Also, I went to a Spanish church service on Sunday (yay!) with Hilary, and it was really good. I`ve really missed praising God in Spanish with native speakers, it is one of the coolest things ever! The sermon was on David and Goliath (David y Goliat), and since it was such a familiar story, it was fairly easy to understand even though it was a Chilean (see the last post about the weird-ness of their Spanish) with a lisp. One of my vecinos (neighbors) invited me to his church too, which I`m really excited about. My term project for Chile is going to have something to do with missionaries or churches in Chile (at least that`s the plan for now), so just like the vineyard was research for David`s project, going to church is research for mine. By the way, the vineyard was really pretty and quite a fun experience, so both "research" trips have been a success!
I`ve got to go to class now! Ciao!
P.S. We`re going to the beach this weekend!
