Hola!
Hamburgers in an interesting combination to be served as a meal during a retreat.
March 1st and 2nd Churches annual retreat. Everyone traveled to Aregua, a small town about 45 minuets away, to a beutiful camp site. I had the opportunity to be in charge of the food for the retreat. We bought all the food and took it up to the site and different members helped cook. The missionaries led class and service. Micah tought the children. The theme of the retreat was "La Batalla Es De Nuestro SeƱor", which translates to "The Battle Belongs to the Lord".
We have started an english program. I currently have 11 english students. Everyone who teaches english at the church has varying schedules. Most of my english students speak english very well, although none of them will agree with me. We use material from the book of John.
We had a vacation week. Its called "Semana Santa" which translates to "Holy Week". Its equivilent is Spring Break. Except we cant call it "Spring" here because we are currently in the fall season. We went to Pilar and spent 4 days there. We traveled to see a ruin and we had "asados", which translates to "Barbeque." Pilar is a very small town so there wasnt a lot of activities to do but the most fun and important thing we did was enjoy one anothers company. It was great seeing another part of the country. Pilar is about a 5 hour drive south.
Here is a link to some photos.

Thanks for reading :)
