I have been with my host family for a week. They are amazing and I couldn't have asked for more wonderful people. This truly was an answer to prayers. I live with a 26 year-old English teacher and her mom. My host sister and I have had a lot of fun hanging out, shopping, doing things sisters do :)
I also went to my school last week. I have yet to get my exact schedule but the school ranges from 7th-12th grade so this is definitely going to be something different than I'm used to. I introduced myself to 8 classes and they were able to ask me questions. The questions ranged from my favorite color to what I thought about immigration in Arizona...impressive....I also got asked if I knew someone famous a lot and the most I could tell them was that I got Cory Monteith's autograph but Glee shows here and a lot of them knew who he was so it carried at least a little weight.
I am adjusting to the cold, mainly because now I'm wearing 5 shirts everyday but hey, ya gotta do whatcha gotta do. My Spanish is not impressiving me. I get very frustrated daily. The people here are know to speak fast and while I know that's not the only factor, I think it does have an influence. The words all blend together and I can't seem to seperate them. Hopefully this will improve! I have come across some very nice people though that will speak very slowly and clearly and with me using my broken Spanish and them using broken English we are able to communicate.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support!
Jenna
