I had a good weekend.
Friday, I did nothing after work. It was good. Saturday, I went to see "War of the Worlds," then to Red Lobster. Sunday, I taught Sunday school, went to church, then went to church in Spanish. Then I went to a taqueria with my hispanic friends. On sunday night, I called Franklin for his birthday. Interesting timing, it was during his birthday party, and they brought in the cake like 5 minutes after I started talking with him. So I talked also with Marlia for a few minutes, Iván, Ronald, Omar, and of course Suyapa. It was nice! And I got to hear everyone sing "Feliz feliz cumpleaños" and Hah-pee bearth-day-ee in English.
Here's a picture from Fran's 19th birthday in 2003, the time I was there! (Luisa and Karlita are the girls in the back, then Fran, Vivian, Michelle, and Teagen).Monday I went to Silver Creek Falls with the hispanic church. We ate breakfast, then ate lunch about an hour and a half later, played a lot of volleyball, talked a lot, and ate "comida." I got to meet some people that I hadn't yet met, and to get to know people better! It was a great 4th of July! Only the second 4th that I can remember when I didn't personally do fireworks. The other time was in Honduras in 2003. Yes, we did do fireworks in Brasil in 2002 - HUGE ones actually, it was freaky because they're the kind that fly in the air, and you hold them in your hand! This was probably the last 4th of July that I'll actually celebrate for a while. But come September 15 at midnight, I'm sure I'll be doing something fun! (well, not this year though).
