Many things have changed since my last post! I don't teach all the same classes, I don't live in the same neighborhood anymore, I'm diving into new areas of ministry AND I'm no longer a brunette! Just kidding. I wanted to make sure you were still with me. The first two items are true though.
First things first- Classes!
I'm now teaching 2 Basic 9 English classes with most of the same students. We're having alot of fun too. Or I am anyway. The basic 9 class focuses on reviewing what the students have already learned and prepares them for advancing to Intermediate level classes. Also, my students are reading their very first book in English! We're reading an abridged version of A Little Princess and so far I think everyone loves it. It almost brings a tear to my eye to think how far they've come.
Next on the agenda- Living situation!
I am no longer a resident of the Vista Hermosa neighborhood. All of the English teachers have moved into a new neighborhood called Recreo, which is a very good word for practicing rolling your r's. It's nice- it's a lot closer to SALI- the language institute where I work and I really enjoy living there. I have a few pictures of my view from the fourth floor of my room.
This is neighborhood of Recreo. I see that teal house every morning. I think it's a pretty color.
However, there are things that I miss about Vista Hermosa. Por Ejemplo (for Example), Zu-Zu. which is short for Azucar, which means Sugar. Zu-zu was our roof top friend at vista Hermosa. Most people keep their dogs on the roof because yards are rare, and zu-zu was our night guard. Fare the well zu-zu, I shall miss thee. Here are some pictures to help the memory live on.
aaaaand FINALLY!-
Please be praying this week for new ministry opportunities that are coming my way this weekend. Tomorrow (being Saturday of course) I will be launching myself into a strings music ministry program designed for kids who can neither afford instruments nor lessons. You're looking at/reading the words of the brand new cello teacher. This will be interesting with my lack of fluent Spanish....
Tune in next folks, same Peruvian blog time, same Peruvian blog channel for the update!
