Play Date

I just got home from my play date, and I had a blast! I hung out with this sweet girl for about 5 hours tonight! I kind of forgot that I am her teacher, as it just felt like I was spending time with a friend. Her mom picked us up from school. Once we got to her house, her grandmother fixed us a "snack", which consisted of black beans, grilled green onions, carne asada with salsa, beets, and orange juice. It was delicious and probably the biggest snack I've ever eaten! As we finished eating, we looked through about four different family photo albums, as her mom kept bringing out more to show me! Then, we played Wii tennis and baseball. I lost every game we played! After Wii, we played a board game called Lince, which means lynx. It was really fun, and I must brag...I won both times! After Lince, we ate dinner with consisted of "enchiladas", which are really big tortilla chips (or tostadas) with salsa, queso, carne, y verduras. If we hadn't eaten enough already, then her grandmother served a pound cake that she made especially for me! Their hospitality was incredible! After dinner, we just sat around the table, talking and laughing. It was so much fun! Most of the time we spoke in Spanish, but if I didn't understand something, they were very understanding, and K. explained it to me in English. After dinner, we played another round of Lince, and then the entire family drove me home! I think today was only the fourth time I've ridden in a car since I've been here. Also, her grandmother sent me home with a bag full of apples, a cherry Coke, a ham sandwich, and two more pieces of pound cake. What a fun afternoon!

I am truly blessed! The Lord is so good, and only He deserves the praise!
