Yesterday we toured our language institute, paid our fees, and received our book. It is in downtown Miraflores which is a short taxi ride away. We will be attending with another new missionary we have met and become friends with. Tommy is a member of the REAPNorth teamand has been here since October. Arnold and Susie, dear members of our team helped us contract our taxi driver to take us to school and pick us up afterwards. Five soles per trip, about $1.75. We will be attending five days a week from 9:00 until 1:00 for three months. Time to get serious with my Spanish.
Today we walked over to our apartment to pick out the colors for the cabinets, counter tops, and to discuss the work in the master bath. Work is set to begin on Monday, we shall see. I am going to be painting the apartment myself. We did get the keys today, so we will be able to go over and check on the progress.
After supper this evening Sandy and I walked down to the a little sandwich shop in our area and purchased a few deserts and brought them home. Four beautiful and delicious deserts for $13.50 soles. About $4.50 U.S.
I will be taking my drivers test in a few weeks. I asked about the book to study, but they didn't have any more. Didn't matter anyway, they are in Spanish. The test will be in English though. They say the laws are the same, but I took my test over thirty years ago. We shall see.
I have been fighting a sinus infection I picked up in Chile. I can't seem to shake it and in this heat and humidity it tends to make things miserable. Pray that I can shake this very soon.
I will let you know how things go Monday morning.
