Late Update, Sorry

Friday night Matt and I went to the movies and like always in the States we spent $20. Of course here that means we bought tickets and bought two of the most delicious Jamon Serrano sandwiches with huge drinks. We went to see 10,000 Years B.C. (or here 10000 Anos A.C.). As the narrator began to speak in the beginning, I knew that the gamble had not gone in our favor. This movie did not have subtitles in Spanish, it had been dubbed. But I forget how much Matt and I understand when we stop trying. When we are just relaxed watching a movie in the dark... Because neither of us got lost, or frustrated. It was a great movie, and I understood it all. We are going to school now, and have been for the last week at Fenix Language Institute. It has helped me tremendously, especially in terms of confidence. As one of the teachers said in my entrance interview (to determine my class level) "You still know everything you learned four years ago, your mind just has to remember that you know."

There was a slight accident in the last week however. Last Saturday we went to the hostal's Margarita Party, and after several hours there Ernesto (the owner) shepherded us out and to Cactus Club. The majority of the other hostal residents were from Germany and I hung out on the dance floor with them, while Matt played pool. Let me tell you drinking with the girls from Germany is dangerous, but we had fun and went home very late. That, ironically, is when the accident happened. I think I was taking off my shoes, and our floor is very slick tiles, and my socks slipped and I fell, smacking the side of my face really really hard. So for the past two weeks I have had a black eye, not to mention the fact that I scared Matt something awful when he ran in the bedroom and there was blood everywhere.

This morning, we finally found the church here in Zacatecas that we have been looking for. La Iglesia de Roca Eterna is a Christian church here that I believe we are going to continue attending for the time we are here. It was wonderfully to go to worship again after a month. I have been missing Imago Dei so much. It was a little different, like Matt looked at the clock after worship and the sermon and did a double take, "What time do you think it is?" he whispered to me. Well, it was 2:15pm, and the service began at 10:30ish, and we were still to take Communion. So it looks like each Sunday service is about four hours long, but I enjoyed it very much and again was surprised by how much of the sermon I understood. Also, today happened to be the day of their bi-annual picnic and so we went to the park afterward and got to know some of the people a bit better. That's all for now, sorry for being a lazy updater. Here is a random photo, I had more but Blogger is not cooperating. Also, our camera now has a memory card, but it overexposes all outdoor pics, don't worry I will figure it out or give up and buy a new one before we travel next month.
