Rainy with a chance of more rain

For the past couple of days the weather here has been rainy. You can walk out your door in the morning with the sunshining and by 2pm have a full out thunderstorm. The weather constantly changes from hour to hour. That is why it is always better to be prepared and take your umbrella with you. PapĂ­ won't let me leave the house with out it.

Today, at school I got to learn some new words. Right now, I am learning the names of the objects in the livingroom along with some other nouns. In grammar class, I had a quiz over regular and irregular verbs. I am sure I did well on the quiz but I really need to study hard for the test.

Student Council, a.k.a. STUCO, has been going well. I am not sure if I said this already but I am now also the cashier for the group. We had a game night last Friday which was alot of fun. We played Phase 10 and Cranium.

Also, every week at school we have chapel two days a week. In this way, ILE kind of reminds of LCU. On Tuesdays, we sing worhsip songs then listen to a sermon given by one of the students. On Thursdays, we sing worship songs then listen to a testimony from one of the students. Thursdays are usually my favorite day for chapel. However, this week they are switching it up by dedicating all of Tuesday's chapel to singing worship songs and then on Thursday we will all share in communion together. I am really looking forward to chapel this week.

Tomorrow, is also my workout day so I get to go to Zumba class for an hour and play volleyball for two hours. Both of which are alot of fun. I have really been loving Zumba. I just love to dance even though I am not very good, but I like to learn and improve from watching others.

Last week, as some of you probably know was a hard week emotionally for me but it is getting better as time goes on. God is really opening my eyes and teaching me some new lessons, and even some old ones that I just need to put into practice. Even though it has only been a month I have already been learning and growing alot. I can't imagine what God is going to do with seven more months, but I am excited to find out.
