Well not a whole lot.
A week ago on Sunday the whole church went up to camp to have the service there, a couple of baptisms and to have lunch together. I taught a bunch of them how to play touch rugby which was exciting. They learnt pretty quickly considering they don't play any sports here that are at all similar to touch rugby. Because I don't speak spanish I was giving Andres the english instructions and he would translate them to everyone. Haha that was quite funny, especially as Andres was learning them as well!
I tried to learn a few instructions to yell at my team. One was to get back 5 metres (when on defence) so we would be on side. The instruction is 'atras', I was yelling 'atres' which translates to 'to three'. Hmm so thats why they wouldn't get back...It was funny though!
On Saturday went to Emilios birthday party, he turned the big 21 (happy bday Emilio!). He was given a saxophone by his Dad, but I am pretty sure the pineapple lumps I gave him were better.
Hung out with my friend Bertha and her Mum Vilma after church this past Sunday. We went to a mall, a very new fancy shopping complex that felt like you were in Spain or something (reminded me of massey uni) and walked along 6th ave in zone 1. It was such a fun day and they were so kind and generous and thoughtful taking me to places I had not yet been to. I cannot say enough of how kind and thoughtful Guatemalans are! Bertha and Vilma both speak English as they lived in the states for a few years.
Marisol and I have started doing a bible study together on 1 Timothy. We have only had one so far and are doing our second this afternoon. It enjoyed doing a little reading up on 1 Timothy before hand and having that special fellowship time with Marisol. Her friendship to me is very special indeed!
So the countdown to my departure is on. I don't like goodbyes.
