Wheat Center

We went to the Wheat Center in Clinton this week to practice our Spanish. When we arrived we were divided into pairs to help in the shop. Lynise and I were paired up, and we were assigned the job of restocking the shelves in the food pantry. Well for some reason they underestimated our strength and put Paul and Matthew in there instead. Oh well. So we were moved to help clean the racks of the clothes that were not any good. While we were working a Spanish gentleman came up to us and asked a question. I could understand that he was looking for something that had to do with beef. There was one word though that was key to his quetion and I had no idea what it ment. It turned out that he was looking for a meat grinder. They didn't have one, but I learned a new word, even though I can't remember it now. lol All in all it was a good experience.

Guantanamera

Here are a couple of versions of Guantanamera that I found on youtube. Its interesting how people sing it different ways.

Iglesia

Today I went to Spanish church with my class. It was a little intimidating at first. I felt like I had been dropped into a pool and wasn't able to swim. But it was a good experience to only hear spanish for 4 hours straight. I didn't understand every word but I was able to get the jist of what was going on. Now I know what it will be like the next time I go.
