Phanie and I took a first day of school picture to follow tradition. We started class later than most students because we already took many of the classes at Calvin. We had one class at noon, a Linguistics class, which was interesting and fun. Then, we thought we were taking an acting class with the locals but at the last minute it was switched to a sculpture class (good news for me!) We walked in the class 30 minutes late and met the professor and the students. They all had projects going already from the previous semester, so we just observed at tried to figure out what to do. We took a field trip to the kiln, took a mini pre class quiz by labeling all of the muscles and bones of the human figure in spanish (I could barely do it in English:), and then the professor told us we could go because we didn't have any projects. Tomorrow there is no classes because of a national "shut down" of the universities.
I didn't get home until about 6:30pm, ate dinner, and then surprise! 5 family members came over to celebrate a birthday......flexibility is the key word in my house......it was chaos from floor to ceiling. I got to my room for the first time at about 10:30pm and wanted sleep right away.
I also experienced my first church service in Honduras (Besides the Garifuna church). It is a huge mega church with 5 services every week. I loved singing in Spanish and marveling at the power of God.
Que Díos les bendiga!
Thank you for remembering to take a first day of school pic! Jake complained mightily about it this year!
ReplyDeleteTell me about the statue on your right in the picture. I think I love it! (And who sits in that little chair?) Is this at your house or Phanie's?
Miss you!

Some day when you have time, tell us about the food you eat in a post. I'm curious.
