Hola. Again. The rest of the week has been really good. We have just been getting ready for the students to come. Alot of them are getting here today and then the rest will come tomorrow morning. Calvin (i'm probably going to switch back and forth from Tyler to Calvin) has been working hard doing alot of filming. He's already tanned from being outside all day yesterday. They want him to use this really nice camera. And the program for editing and stuff is pretty complex-so he's been good about trying to learn it. As for me I have been busy doing alot of random things. I finished making the personal health history form so that the students can fill it out when they get here. I did some stuff for the kitchen as well and met the cooks. They are both very nice, which is good because I will be spending alot of time with them. So they told me that they want me to be in charge of "exercise". Which wouldn't be a problem except they have no equipment OR space. So the only other option is to lead an aerobic type thing. I am laughing just thinking about it. Keep in mind it has to be all in spanish. What a joke. It should be a funny experience to say the least. If you are all lucky I will have Calvin take a video of it. I doubt he'll even be able to watch me. He starts laughing every time he thinks about it.
We went to church today and it was aweeeesome. I have really missed going to church in spanish. And meetings that start 30 minutes late:). The ward was all really nice. We got invited over to peoples houses, they gave us candy, AND we got to sing with them. What more could I ask for? They sing without the piano and I think the songs last like 5 minutes longer than they are supposed to. It was really fun though we loved it. So tomorrow we will start eating the "real" mexican food. The cooks have had the last week off. I looked at the menu though and I am very excited. I'm glad we get to have good food and not have to eat out on the streets. There are 3 MBA students here. They all had tacos from the street and all 3 of them have had horrible diarrhea since then (2 days ago). No thank you...I made dinner tonight for all the staff-about 15 people. It was pretty fun. It helps Rebecca alot too because she is pretty busy with everything and her baby. Calvin is always really good at doing all the dishes which means he always smells like bleach but at least we know our dishes are clean! Anyways we are going to bed. The early days start tomorrow....love you all.
P.S I dont read over these before I post them so sorry if there lots of errors!
