Day 29 (6/30/11)

Today it rained and didn’t stop. We are in the rainy season here, and there are a lot of puddles in the streets now because the rain hasn’t let up. The only major thing Andrew and I did today was to teach an English class for 3 niños. We're teaching this class because the missionaries left today for vacation and so we're in charge of all the classes this next week and half in Urbi.
I woke up today with the expectation of going outside to workout with Andrew. It was raining quite heavily and didn’t show signs of stopping so I stayed in bed for a while. Eventually I came to the conclusion that I was not going to be working out this morning as the rain continued. After a while I went downstairs to eat some breakfast and get ready for the day. Lina wasn’t in the house so I tried to keep myself occupied until she returned.
Eventually Lina returned with Luigi and we ate lunch together. We had gorditas for lunch and they were really good! Following this I left the house around 1pm to go help teach English to the young niños. Andrew and I were going to meet up before the class to work on our plan and figure out what we were doing. Andrew didn’t show up until about 1:20 so in the meantime I read my Bible. Recently I’ve been reading in 1 John, and it is a very challenging book. The reason is because it talks about living our lives in purity. If we aren’t striving to live like Jesus then we aren’t with God. This book lays down the law pretty much and I’m finding it is a good challenge to live by in my daily walk of faith. I just finished 1 John today and will start 2 John soon.
Anyway, Andrew showed up and eventually 2pm came around. We then started our English class and read the book “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” to our students. Afterward we played Go Fish with English phrases for cards and this was lots of fun for the students. Once we were done we said goodbye to the students and went our separate ways. Once I got back I ate dinner with Lina, Luigi, and a few workers. I got to talk to the workers and learn more Spanish as well as eat some good food. Following dinner Luigi and I watched a movie and now I’m ready for bed. It’s still raining! Maybe tomorrow it will stop.
