Duhn, duhn, duhn




Well, here we go again, this week was great, we had a large group of 17 that shrunk to 10 the second day and to 6 the third day, but it was fun to work with everyone though; it's hard to get to know everyone the first day, but usually at the end of the 2nd you know everyone in the class. I taught the 3rd day by myself yesterday as Jordan went on a young men's campout and gets back today...
I enjoy working with people and improving how I teach the workshop each time, it certainly gets better if I put in the effort. The missionary couple that just arrived, the Barton's, who Sergio has put in charge of the center, are great people, they are learning Spanish but they are the nicest and greatest people to work and be with; I'm so happy they are here and in our ward as well.
Well, this last Sunday I got called to teach primary, I teach my first lesson tomorrow, we'll see how it goes...

Two weeks later...






Well, these last two weeks were interesting and busy. We taught two workshops, both went well and we had some interesting experiences. Friday night I went out ice skating with some of the other young adults in the ward, it was pretty fun. Last week, I ate pizza in front of an apartment and talked to the security guard about the church and the workshop and invited him to come and participate. I hope he does, I gave him my number, email, and the number of the center, he was a nice 30-year-old guy from Peru, they are lots of Peru.

Speaking of Peru, I'm thinking of maybe taking a bus there after to see some things there and in Bolivia (and see some of Argentina's countryside). I'm planning on it but we'll see if it comes to fruition.

Anyway, Jordan (my companion) and I have been asked to team teach the 8-11 year old primary class, they are also doing D&C, it should be a fun/interesting experience.
Also, Jordan and I have been going semi-regularly to the gym, it's nice to get some exercise, especially in a bit city.

Last Saturday (about a week ago) we went to a park nearby (a collection of parks actually) and took some pictures, it was pretty and there was a nice lake. We also saw a Japanese Garden that had some really cool looking fish in it:
