Caleb & Della: 5/12/14: Day 71: 2nd Spanish Class

I took my origami dragon and a book to show my Spanish teacher. I arrived for my second class at 7:00. The two English students I met on Friday were just finishing up. One of them (Melvin) was very impressed. For the lesson, the teacher just started going through the list of verbs that end with ar in alphabetical order. We only covered ten because he made me conjugate all of them and then use each in sentences. The teacher pretended to be an English speaker and I was the interpreter for Melvin. Melvin stayed for the entire class except for at the beginning when he went out to get us each a soda. Apparently all the public schools were closed today for a Teachers Work Day. I went to the grocery store and Dollar City after class. Then I went back up the mountain home. Della said “Facebook doesn’t lie, happy birthday Lucky!”. Lucky had thrown a huge party for Della but tried to not even tell anyone about hers. I told her that we love to take her out to lunch. When we walked to the restaurant she wanted we found that it was closed for the day. A bunch of teens came over at 1:00 to get the keys for the church to decorate for tomorrow. Lucky planned a huge mother’s day meal for them tomorrow. The deal has been a lot more work than she expected it to be. I spent the afternoon working on the lesson for this evening. The lesson is a about 1^st Kings 3 when Solomon asks for wisdom. At 4:00 Della and I went over to the church building and ate birthday cake for Lucky with everyone. At 5:05 we piled 12 people (5 adults and 7 teens) in the 7 capacity van to go to Shucutitan for the small group study. The turnout was pretty slim; we only had about 15 people. I felt the lesson went really well. We got back home at 6:55 and we ate leftovers for dinner. Bryan arrived at 7:30 and we worked on his new computer for a while. He has a little netbook that we are trying to get Ubuntu to work on. His computer is so old that we have to put everything on the SD card because the hard drive was too small. Then Lucky helped me have a short study with Bryan. We studied Matthew 25 on the parable of the ten virgins. Bryan said he had been reading his bible some. He left at 9:30 and I went straight to bed.
