So week one we spent the whole three hours we were suposed to be in chuch looking for it....no luck. This week we did the same but when we came back and looked at the map again (on line) we noticed a second ward that meat at 4 pm so we decided to try again later. This time we did it!
It was very interesting the church is not an individual building. its like a store front amongs a bunch of others. One right next door looks like a disco tech. (I will bring my camera next week and edit this posting) Inside the ward seemed like any other ward, except they were speaking spanish. The bishop had one of the sister missionaries translate in YW for Logan and Tori and the other helped me in RS. Then we went to Sunday School and Dan translated for me. Except for when some angry guy was yelling about something. Dan couldnt understand. Then durring sacrament meeting an elder sat behind me and translated until he got so involved in the lesson he forgot to continue to tell me what was going on. After wards we found out we are actualy suposed to be in barrio uno and there is another American family there from Oregon. Aparently she is in the YW presidency and he is the seminary teacher. I think the elder said he is also the ward pianist. I think he said he plunks it out because thats better than none. Barrio dos didnt have any pianist either. So much for finding a piano instructor at church. The girls were happy to hear the American family in our proper barrio is so involved with the things they will be involved in, because in YW they asked Logan to say the prayer so they could hear it in English. From what we can understand Seminary is two times a eek and both wards do thier own. Barrio uno does it at like 5 am and barrio dos does it at 6pm. Also the mutual activities are on saturdays. Seth said his teacher asked his name and then wrote down "SAD" on the board. Paige said she would be happy to come back next week, come to find out she fell asleep in class and woke up in time for chocolate chip cookies. Who wouldnt like that?
