yesterday i went in service in a truly poor area for my first time. it was incredibly sad. but the people were just amazing. they were helpful and kind, though very few spoke english. they live in literal shacks on the river. it broke my heart, but at the same time, i'd rather work that territory than the rich area.
in the afternoon we worked my territory, which is where beto lives. i swear he knows every house by heart. our very last house of the day was an english school, and beto used to go there so he wanted to go say hi to his teacher. she ended up inviting us in to talk to her students so they could practice conversing in english. so we conducted a study in the first lesson of the require brochure with the whole group. it was a little odd, but very neat. and every person took a copy of the brochure, and the teacher took some magazines.
anyway, i'm off to try surfing again. yay for beach day.

ya! same question as carla? whos beto??????
i dunt get it? oh well your just going to have to explain beto to us.... i hear from a very good source that some of your service territory has fences with gates along ppls houses and u have to knock on gates and yell"ola, ola!" till someone comes. is that true??
because if it is i can just imagine u banging on the gate yelling ola, ola. no i couldn't but i am sure u would get a kick out of that eh?
