Wow it's already been a couple days since I last posted on here. I was going to saturday, then i put it off, then i was going to yesterday, then i put it off and it didnt happen, and now here i am writing when im about to go to bed :) So today was our first day with the students and wow it was great! First off, all the students are awesome, and one is from Orem, and another served his mission in provo! What a small world we live in! So we started at 7 o'clokc and immediately went to work, we raked an area of our lawn for all the leaves with just our fingers for over an hour, then had breakfast, and then we went to gardening and did about thirty rows that are about twenty feet long each, and cleaned them of all their weeds and re made the hills on each row. After that we went and did another section of the garden and then had lunch. After Lunch we went and cleaned all the dormitories, and the classroom and the offices. We basically cleaned everything up today! Sorry its time for bed, thats why this is such a hurried post, but basically today was awesome! we had a lesson where they wrote down the first things that came to mind about a whole bunch of countries that were written on the board, including the United States and Mexico. And about basically every country except mexico they said all these fantastic things, and for mexico they put like dirty, and corrupt, and poor. And Jeremi brought to their attention how sad that misconception is, that they downgrade themselves without even thinking about it. We're breaking their conceptions that in Mexico they have to be poor, and dirty and can never rise above it, and teaching them to come to their full potential. K well hopefully I will have more time tomorrow to post a blog, and i'll go into much greater detail on today, and tell you all about tomorrow! Hasta Luego!
