I have really learned to appreciate how much bigger futbol (soccer) is here than in the USA. Everyone watches the mundial (World Cup), except a few people. One told me that the mundial was vain, and it distracted people from what should be important, which is God. Based on what I have seen, he has reason. It means I have had to learn a lot about futbol these few weeks. Everyone here is cheering the USA, because they don`t like Mexico and because Honduras will probably be out before the end of this week.
We made curascos today for our activity, it was very rico and totally worth it.
I am happy and content.
Have a good week, I know I will (I always manage to have a good week, Thanks God!).
