How's it going???
I totally spaced that your p-day is now on mondays! are you at the computer right now??
Yes I am :-) How's it going?
YAY! I figured you'd be close by!
We're not doing too much...after this we go to Walmart and get groceries and whatnot and then we go to the church and hang out with some of the other missionaries in our zone. We usually play volleyball or something. It's pretty fun. What are you up to this week?
I totally spaced that your p-day is monday, and not tuesday. so i missed writing last week, and got back from St. George last night, and meant to get an email out this morning before work.
How are you?? Hanging in there? :)
We were in St. George to go see Brian Regan...that comedian guy. You know him?
haha it's all good :-) I'm hanging in there :-) Doing great actually!! We have a really solid baptismal date for a guy named Jaime on June 2nd, so that's super exciting :-)
I've heard of Brian Regan...was he pretty funny?
Yay for baptisms!!! That's AWESOME!! How old is he? Is he married with a family? Is this the guy you found that day that it was pouring rain and your tire popped?
I had heard a lot of hype about Brian Regan being suuuper funny. I thought he was...ok. The funniest part was when he came out for the encore, and people started yelling out skits that they wanted him to do, whereas the main portion of the show was him trying out new material that just wasn't as polished and the timing on his jokes weren't as good, if that makes sense.
What else are you guys up to today?
That's funny. Haha He's like 40ish...we don't know his exact age. But he has a 17 year old daughter. I guess him and his wife just got a divorce, and so he was struggling with that a whole bunch. We haven't met his 17 year daughter, but hopefully one day we will. Yeah, this is that guy. Super exciting though :-) We have plans to have 5 people with a baptismal date by the end of this week. Keep us in your prayers :-) haha
Hahaha That's awkward. That's good that he was at least a little funny though. A good chuckle at least :-)
I started working with a lady in Rhode Island on that BYU-Idaho pathways program. Did I tell you about that around Christmas time?
That's cool :-) No you didn't tell me about it! What is it? I think one of my old roommates did that for a while...but I don't remember.
Basically it's a program that gets people up-to-speed with their English skills so they can start taking on-line courses through BYU-Idaho. So I Skype twice a week with this lady, Betzy, who lives in Rhode Island, but originally from Guatemala. She's taking like an English 101 class, and her verbal english skills are ok, but it's her writing that is needing a lot of help. We've been working on vocab and writing...turns out English is a hard language to teach! And I have no english teaching skills! And BYUI has given no training on how or what you're supposed to do in these skype meetings! So it's been interesting. I was trying to explain what "although" and "though" mean, so I told her it's kind of like "but"...well, she thought that "but" = what you sit on, not but as in "yes, but no"! I couldn't stop giggling. :)
hahahaha that's great :-) We teach an english class here too, every wednesday. Like you, we have absolutely no training. We just have to go and teach...it's actually really fun. None of our students and super fluent, but they probably sound like I do with Spanish. They can get their point across, but don't exactly sound perfect or anything. Haha we taught them about verbs in the past last week. Turns out, it's really hard, and there are a lot of irregular verbs. Like a whole lot. But they're catching on, so that's super awesome. Anyways, I have to get off now, pero, te amo mucho!!!
Can't wait to talk to you on Sunday :-)
Hermana Bowerman
Yay! See you Sunday! Loves.
