...singing praises

This past weekend was really enjoyable. The weekend began after teaching for five hours on Saturday. After going home to grab some lunch, I took a bus to the church. They were having the monthly area-wide youth group thing. At the beginning we had some awesome singing. I even took some video of it. I had been missing that a lot, and it was good to sing some. After the devo, we did some games. Basically, one person threw a dart at a spinning wheel and it hit either reward or punishment. Eventually, even if you hit prize you had to do a punishment. It was really funny. Afterwards we had the very Mexican meal of hot dogs, and eventually, I went with a large group of people to a movie. It was a very good Saturday afternoon/evening.

On Sunday I had less sleep than I would have liked because we had daylight savings time, but oh well. Apparently the preacher thought I looked very tired because he commented on it a couple times throughout the day. Oops. Anyway, after class and service, we had a potluck. This meal was a lot of Mexican type dishes. And it was very good. And I found out that another guy doesn't drink carbonated beverages. He had water without any ice, which I definitely approve of. After the potluck, we got the church ready for the Confraternidad. This happens every three months, and basically about five different churches all meet together and play games. Think of games like passing a ball over under over under, though we did not actually do that one. Basically, again very humorous to watch and a lot of fun. Then we had a meal of sandwiches. After all the other churches had left, a group of guys played Football. Not Futbol (aka soccer), but football (as in the Tennessee Titans). It was good. My team won, though not necessarily because of me (though I did have a interception returned for a touchdown for the last score). It was interesting to see some of the rule differences that they had. And it was also funny when they asked me if I knew how to play. So, to sum up, a very enjoyable Sunday.

It is now Wednesday and the owners of the school are here. Checking up on things and making sure everything is running well. They came in yesterday and observed a couple people's classes, including mine, and we had individual and combined meetings today.

I am excited about the beginning of May.
