Today is a warm day in March, it is weird to think that it is fall here and i can already tell that the days are gettig shorter. School is going full swing now, and i am keeping busy with that and also with planning and helping organize Holy Week, which for all of you who aren´t familiar, is a pretty big deal. But then again i guess salvation is.
So, i would to let you all in some of the interesting people that i are in my world here in Chile. I have a co-worker, a mother of a senior in high school, who came up to me a couple of weeks ago to show me pictures that she had taken at the WWE or (WWF not sure) show that weekend. She was disappointed though that she didn´t get a picture of Triple H. So after my original shock i was lead into a lengthy conversation about the athleticism and showmanship of fake wrestling.
Today, i was told by the man in charge of the school´s finances that i was working too much. I am contracted for 30 hours and i was working more. I am a volunteer. So i was told to work less because i was working is more than my imaginary contract allowed me too.
I am teaching the CHa CHa slide to my students. This, for those who don´t know was a hip hop like dance made popular in the 90´s. I am going to force them to dance to it, or they will not recieve participation ponts. To answer your question, this does actually have something to do with learning English. The excuses i used to get this cleared where building vocabulary and listening comprehension.
Well i hope you are well and i will try and get some pictures up of the school.

Hello Fair Brethren,
I hope that all are well and that you are enjoying all the gifts that are given to you.
I truly apologize for the lack of news. Things here have been wonderful, i am truly having an exceptional time here. School started back up two and a half weeks ago, but we didn't start having full days until this last week. It was a lot of fun to get back to seeing the kids and what not. It is amazing to see how much they change over even a short amount of time. I have been very busy with trying to get back in the swing of things with school and also with the congregation. We had a lovely mass and dinner with the Congregation last night in celebration of St. Joe's. Otherwise my days have been taken up by school, or planning for it. (yes i do get a free minute from time to time, but those also seem to be very busy affairs also)
This is a tough part of the year for many that i hold dear. I pray for all of you who have lost loved ones. I pray that you find comfort with your loved ones and with him.
I hope you are all well
