We
got up bright and dang early this morning for a delicious breakfast
of pancakes, eggs, and beans. Then, Alvin, Jacob, Ben, Olivia,
Bailey, Allison, and me went back over to the New Jerusalem church to
meet our individual tutors for the week. My tutor's name is Rachel.
We spent the morning reviewing over common greetings, going over the
food and culture of El Salvador, teaching me how to bargain at the
market, past tense, and how to ask someone questions about a trip. We
will be doing this for 4 hours each morning this week. While we were
doing that, Brian went with Nate, Anna, Meagan, Angie, and Brittany
to the clinics. We all came back to the house for a lunch of chicken
and noodles, and cucumber salad. Then, the clinic group went to their
spanish class and our group went to help clear out a lot that one of
the churches is about to build on. We got done so early that Brian
took us to get a treat at the ice cream shop! :) So worth getting
dirty for! Then we came home, took nice cold showers, and then had a
yummy dinner of steak, potatoes, rice, and ice cream cake for
dessert! :) Then we all placed bets on the National Championship game
and found it on ESPN. Alabama obviously won, and Olivia won the bet
with the closest predicted score. A good first day of work in El Sal!
