This is going to be a quick blog because it is super late.

Today I taught the kids, the happiest moment ever was when I got luis to love writing. He didn’t want to write at all and I sat down and was patient and got him started and then he just took off and asked to write some more and some more and some more! I cant describe the feeling I got, I was so proud of him we went around and showed it to everyone. This is why I became a teacher.

I decided to gain some new experience and help the guys with the cement they were doing, plus we were going out for lunch and i was trying to help to hurry them up. I mixed cement and filled buckets…it was so hard! Man I am weak…I sure got a good work out though. They teased me the whole time but I was proud of myself for even attempting to do it.

we had the best seafood I have ever eaten! I ate so much. When we got back it was time for the jovenes group and they were playing kickball…so I joined in and fell and got a bloody knee. Then we took the girls and did our study on modesty. I was able to share some things and used my Spanish. I was glad because I had a lot to share with the struggle to be modest.

Then the young boys were playing futbol and I just had to join in…I have been in mexico for a week and I haven’t played futbol as much as I thought I would. It was a lot of fun, it was a good way to break the ice with the younger pre teen kids and to gain respect among them, which will open doors.

I think I am a little homesick….off to bed!
