Buenos Días! Cómo están!? Les extraño mucho!
I
heard it is pretty cold up there right now... How is that going? I dont
have a thermometer, but I am pretty sure its been in the 90s all
week... I have the sunburn to prove it... My companion wears a jacket
still, and she said it is cold here, but I think she would die if she
went to Utah right now! Sorry guys! You are all welcome to join me here
in Costa Rica if youd like! :)
Okay
gross story for the week... We had a dinner lesson the other night and
we were fed some delicious Gaillo Pinto. (I will make it for you when I
get home!) But she used a little too much oil.. (I will use less oil).
And My stomach did not like that. Well we were walking in the park after
the lesson, heading to the next, and I told my companion I felt sick. I
leaned over and threw up on the grass and then kept walking like
nothing happened. My companion looked over and asked, Vomitó? and I
said, Sí. Maybe you had to have been there, but it was hilarious. She
laughed and laughed and laughed for the next hour. And now she tells
everyone the story of me throwing up and pretending like nothing
happened. Good times here in Costa Rica! :)
The
work has been slow from the holidays, everyone has been off work, at
the beach, visiting family, and partying it up. But work started again
yesterday, so this should be a good week! I still get along great with
my companion and she says I am her favorite! Yay! :) Sorry if any of her
other companions read this... but she has taught me SOOO much Spanish! I
can actually say things now! Not lots of things, but things! :) Hahaha. Right now I am working on my story telling skills in Spanish so I can
share personal experiences in our lessons. My companion says she is not
teaching me Spanish, I am actually teaching her Spanish because every
time I ask her a question, I ask why it is that way, and she has to look
it up or think about it more. So it is a win win situation. :) We also
do try to speak English at night to help her learn, but she doesn't ask
why as much, so my English isn't much better.. The Gift of Tongues is
real! :)
Don't
freeze! Les quiero mucho! :) Oh haha that reminds me! Do you remember
the TacoBell slogan Yo Quiero TacoBell? That doesn't exist here. They all
think it is hilarious that we have that in the states. The slogan here
is much longer, and not in English, but I can't remember it right now..
It is funny to look back on things that finally make sense because I know Spanish now! Wahoo! Well I love you all! Have a great week!
Enjoy going back to school and work! :) Chao!
Love,
Hermana Markle. :)
