La Iglesia

This morning we had the privilege to attend a church where we teach English class in the mornings.  Lyndsay and I teach the advanced students at the church, while Edna and Jennifer teach the beginners class at the Buckner CTC.  Many of our students attend the church, so it was fun to experience a little bit of their lives as well.  The pastor of the church (who is in our class!) has nine children, and four of them are in our class!  It almost seems like everyone at the church is related somehow... We worshiped with some music, then went to classes grouped by age.  After the bible study, we hung out and talked with the students.  It was so great just to hang out with them for a little bit!  I am enjoying the time getting to truly know each student - families, interests, dreams, etc.  One of my new friends, Nicole, told me she would teach me how to cook!  Que rico!

We also went to see the new Harry Potter movie this afternoon.  That's a cultural experience, right?  Call me crazy, but I have actually never read a book or seen a movie before today.  The movie theater was interesting because you have to pick your assigned seats while purchasing tickets.  Also, the crowd was definitely a lively bunch than your normal American theater.  It made for interesting commentary.  Overall, a pretty wonderful Sunday!
