San Cristobal

This week was full of school, sightseeing, church, and Jonathan's school class party.


On Friday I completed my 5th week of spanish classes. I am now over halfway. I have 4 more weeks left to complete 3 sessions of study.



The people in the picture are either schoolmates or employees of the school, Escuela Frontera.






On Friday afternoon we went to cerro San Cristobal. It is a little touristic mountain with little parks. We had a good afternoon walking around the parks on the mountain.



Have you ever seen two people trying to drink out of a water fountain at the same time? It is very entertaining!

Walking on stepping stones in the Japanese garden.

We have started our Alpha english courses. Alpha is an introductory to Christianity course. We have it on Saturday afternoons at 4 o'clock. This was our second week. The first week we had 3 people come and this week we had 5. I am playing the guitar for the worship time and also leading a group discussion.



On Sunday my cousin Jonathan had a school class party at a farm in the mountains. We had a cookout and enjoyed the beautiful sunny day. From where we were on the mountain you could almost see all of Santiago.




helping prepare the kabobs for the cookout. The other people in the picture with me are family of one of Jonathan's classmates.

Prayer Requests:

1. That I would focus my eyes on God and see his will for me while I am here

2. That I would follow God's will

3. (I am going to lunch on Thursday with two girls from our alpha course) That I would be a light to them.

4. That I would be a good witness at my school

Praises:

1. Someone that works at my school came to church this week.

2. I have made it over halfway in my spanish courses.

Thank you all for your prayers,

Kristin
