Spring 2014 Week 7

03/03/2014



Last Monday we paid a visit to the Academia, as they were putting on a show to commemorate the end of summer. The children along with their instructor, Elder, put together a comical sketch and a dance, among other things, to show parents and friends what they have been learning and practicing in the summer months. The children did an excellent job, and it gave us one more reason to know how well the Academia is working.

Week two with our classes with the LDS church has been rather successful. Our turnout has been strong, and the students attending our very willing and prepared for full participation in the program. This week we have extended the class period from one hour to an hour and a half to make it more worthwhile for those students who have to travel long distances to get here. We have made up the time difference by including more group activities within the class, which have proven very effective in the learning process, especially in the area of creating new ideas for businesses. The students get to work with each other to solve potential problems that may arrive in their own businesses, and gain insights that they may have not found working alone.

Last week we had bought our tickets to go to Cajamarca for their annual Carnaval; we had been planning the trip for a few weeks. Friday night came, and we were mistaken of the place from where the buses leave, and made it just in time to watch the bus drive by! The weekend was in turn passed in Trujillo, which still always allows us for a good time for all the friends we have here.
