Hey guys!
Right now I am at the Technological University with a couple friends. They wanted me to see their school and go to their English class and stuff. It hasnt been too eventful but its cool to see what their life is like. The school is pretty similar to a tech back home. Im sitting with about 10 kids my age while they do homework. Its fun trying to talk with them but I find that its easier to talk to adults because they talk slower. haha. These two girls that I am friends with are workers at my host familys cake shop *Pasteleria Genesis*. They are catholics but I have a great opportunity to witness to them with my actions and words because we have equal respect for each other. I think its definately respected to be an AMerican learning spanish and ackowledging that there are other cultures out there. The fact that I am open to learning from them makes them open to learning from me.
The family that I am living with is a perfect fit for me. There are three kids undet the age of ten. Two boys and a girl. Its been fun playing with them and getting to know some Spanish slang or play words. The parents are very nice people, liek i said before they own a cake shop, actually three. They hire a couple girls who make the cakes right at their house. So I get to be around girls my age and a family all the time. The parents are definately striving to serve the Lord, they are Christians and adopted their three kids. THey go to baptist church but its very unpopular to be a Christian here. Catholics are prevalent and it is not the same type of catholicism that is respected in the states. Catholics here worship the saints a lot more then Jesus and the concepts of faith are different.
Overall I am loving Tlaxiaco, Oaxaca, Mexico. It is a great city with tons to see and expirience as far as culture and language is concerned. I am learning so much!
Got to go!!
