Day 117- Saturday, May 7th, 2012

Today I had made plans to go out in service with Ingrid. So I did, she is really sweet. I keep forgetting that she is only 16! Everyone here looks not their ages…You know its really too bad she doesn't have better role models here. All of the girls in the hall actually, they desperately need role-models, or they will turn out to be like…well…not ideal. Anyways, in the group today I asked them all about the classes that Brian gave and they decided I should do that too and just move here…Hahaha no! Im not moving here, but they thought it would be a good idea and that it would work, for me to stay here and work a bit, after my assignment ends of course. Cause we are not allowed to work while on the route. I think the couple take that a little too literally because they don't do their own laundry and they don't help clean the house. But whatever. Anyways, when I got home we brought the Quintero family (Nixon, Ruby, Nix Jr., and Made) with us and we made them Spanish rice, Mole, and Tortillas. They all thought it was super hot and it was rather sweet. For being so close to Columbia these folks here don't eat anything spicy! Its weird.Anyways, when they left I cleaned the whole kitchen and then went into my room. I started studying my Watchtower and then started thinking about my un-ended thought of yesterday and remembered that scripture that says something like…hang on I'll totally butcher it, let me find it…DAH! I don't remember where it is… Hizah! I found it! Luke 14:28- "Who of you that wants to build a tower does not first sit down and calculate the expense, to see if he has enough to complete it?" So I decided just to see, if I could pull off the whole stay-three-more-months-while-supporting-yourself-as-the-only-English-teacher-here… Everyone has told me there will be a WHOLE bunch of people that will want to take lessons. They also told me that in Sereno, where the High School is, an extra math class or tutoring class is $5. So I put one and one together. and I made up a BCS (Best Case Scenario) and a WCS(Worst Case Scenario) page. Something that my mom and 'Naomi' taught me how to do. I also made a possible schedule to see where working would fit in to my Pioneer Schedule and meeting days and times. My best case scenario was based on everyone's ''lots of people'' would sign up for classes. Here ''lots of people'' is like 70. So my BCS is 60. My WCS is 20 people. Anyways, if I wanted to live here comfortably, which would be ideal, according to the guest-amite that Osiris gave me about the rent, I would need about $200.00 USD each month. Not to bad. WCS with only 20 people signing up, shows that I would make that amount in the first week of the month. Not to bad right?! :D IF and I mean IF I were to decide to do this, I could actually possible save the money my mom is having to send me and when I get back to Mexico, pay her back that would be awesome! Anyways, its still just a thought of starting to think about thinking about maybe staying here a little bit longer…Anyways, my Watchtower is nice and studied now. And its my FAVORITE time of night! :D I kind of wish someone would call me right now, I am in the mood to talk to people that I know, love, and someone I can speak English with. :) Oh well. I got a lot of thinking to do right now, anyways. Don't need the distraction. Hmm…BLACK COFFEE is actually not too bad, I have no creamer, and no milk. And the couple finished theirs already so I can't even sneak a few drips. Oh yeah! So I found out some more info the couple WAS IN FACT, going to leave last month. BUT when the elders got all of us together, they pretty much got the answer of 'Seriously?!' and got just a wee bit lectured and got put into the spot light, so THATS WHY they didn't go home right then. Apparently though, they are still going to go home early, as in this month they should be gone before the month ends! Interesting? I think yes! There assignment is like the rest of ours, its until the end of June. Very interesting. Oh well, I also found out that this is also their first route. Something tells me they aren't going to be doing another one. Just some reason I think they are not going to do it. Oh yeah ANYWAYS…I have lots of things to think about tonight. And I am drinking straight up black coffee at 9:40. ((ITS IN ABOX!)) Bahaha! Ok well I am bored now! I finished my coffee and I am cold now, because I am outside in my ''Favorite Study Time" spot. And thats it. :) Its 10:30p.m. and my nails are dry-ish, I think. So, I think its a good time to call it a night and go to bed. :) The only problem is that, I am watching a REALLY good movie right now. (Bathroom Break!) Well this seems like a good place to stop for the night. So Goodnight Day 117.
