On Tuesday, than again this was coupled with our talk that we gave to a conformation group, which was fantastic. I gave a talk about my walk with Christ and some of the struggles that I went through. It was nice to be able to give my talk to the kids, even though it was in spattered Spanish. It was also interesting considering I was giving a talk to a Catholic conformation of which I have not been confirmed. It was also a little different for the school we were talking at was St. George’s which is the private privileged school in Santiago. For example, 70% of the government in Chile went to school at St. George’s. Which meant that my talk was skewed towards a bunch of rich private school kids, trying to get them to do some mission work, (or at least to have their parents give some money to help fund the stuff we are trying to do). So it is weird to be in that situation we are in because we are a link between the rich school and our contacts with the Americans there and also working at the poor school that we work at.
On Wednesday we had our little community night, which was nice. We decided to splurge and have some Chinese food. We also did a personality test, which was very informative. It was also interesting to see how we interact with different people, which will help with having us live together for the next year and a bit. It showed how we typically deal with situations and also with arguments. So it was good to get that out in the open and to realize how the other person deals with certain situations.
