First Week

I made it through my first week of Language School and so far it has not been to bad besides the mountain of homework I had to do this past weekend and also the amount of verbs I had to memorize. It definitly helps having the little bit of spanish I have before I started Langauge School.
This past week during language school I was able to go out into the town with my teachers and they showed me which combis I needed to take. Knowing which combis you need to get on it very important it is also sometimes very difficult to do. I know the people that have been here a while will probably read this and think what am I talking about getting on combis is so easy but trust me it isn’t. I think I finally figured out which ones get me home, but if I try to go anywhere else I have no doubt I will get lost. When I went out with my spanish teachers they took me to a mall. They asked me what the mall looks like in my home town and all I could do is laugh! Lompoc have a mall… yeah right!
This week I was also able to spend a little time with one of the 40/40 pairs in Arequipa. They attend the same church I do and they are having to pick me up on sunday mornings. It was great to talk to both of them (or at least try because one of them only spoke spanish) because I got to hear about some of the things that went through having been here a year now. They are a very neat pair and I can not wait to have the opportunity to hang out with them some more.
And for those of you who were praying for me I am feeling a lot better! Thanks all
