Okay, so a week and a half ago, a lot of things happened:
First off, Ashley and I got REALLY sick. We think we had salmonella. From now on, we will be EXTRA careful before we eat anything in restaurants. This made our workshops hard. We didn't know HOW we were going to teach them. But since our manager gave us no other choice, we decided to pray and let the spirit give us a hand. And he did. We taught some great classes last week and graduated about 30 people. It was really really nice.
We finally started feeling better a few days ago so this week's workshop has been really good. We've only taught two classes this week and we'll teach the last two next week. Valentine's Day was fun cuz my companion got into Grad School AND we just watched fun movies. And then we taught workshops at Estaca La Pampa this week. 42 people our first day! When we taught again on Thursday, we had about 26, but that's okay. They're pretty awesome, I love them all! :)
It's been hard....it's dangerous to do stuff here alone, and our "friends" don't ask us to hang out so...yeah we've been imprisoned in our own home. BUT! Today we decided to plan things to do no matter what. We are not going to just wait for things to happen, we'll make them happen ourselves.
My computer's hard drive might give in at any minute, so I'm just praying it lasts me this trip :)
