Wonderful Wednesday!

My last week of work is going really well. But, yesterday was a really good day. :) First of all, on Tuesday afternoon maintenance figured out the electrical problem in the apartment I’m staying in…so I was able to take a warm shower in the morning and blow my hair dry without having the lights dim and the hair dryer go to half speed! So nice.

Also 1204, the account I have been spending most of my time working on, is officially balanced!! Yahoo! All the correcting entries have been made and everything ties out. Who knew that someone could love the number zero so much!

This week the accounting department for radio asked if I would teach them English. Many of the accountants in the Latin American Region accounting department know English, which has been really great for me! But the accountants for radio don’t know a lot of English and want to learn because they keep coming in contact with English speakers. I am definitely not qualified or even really know enough Spanish in order to teach them English. But they are a great group of people and I understand their frustration and have experienced it some while I’ve been down here when I try to communicate in Spanish, so I agreed to teach them. It is really challenging and sometimes I feel like I am learning just as much Spanish as they are English during the English lessons. It is always fun and at times humbling. We have had some great laughs and I really enjoy learning with them. 

After work I went with one of the other interns to a dance exercise class that a few HCJB employees go to as well. I was not great at some of the dance moves, but it was so fun! You know you’re not doing a move correctly when the instructor stands right in front of you so that you can watch his feet.  But to my credit, there were others in the class that made mistakes too…and they weren’t gringas. :) 

After the exercise class I was able to have a quick chat with my brother over Skype and then I headed off with the rest of the group to a missionary’s house for Bible Study. She made us an amazing dinner AND dessert and we listened to Christmas music while we ate. We also finished the Beth Moore Inheritance study and talked about our upcoming trip to the coast. 

Last night one of the interns said “We have the best life!” I would have to agree, life is pretty great. :)
