Which are you?

The chart at the bottom of this page helped me finally see why school wasn't as great as it could have been: Learning Styles

I feel like I definitely fit the the visual-spatial learner category and looking back now I see how much school was geared towards the auditory-sequential learner. It also helped me to see why I love sign language so much!

Anyways, hope you find the chart as enlightening as I did. Which type of learner do you think you are?

Yum!

Taking a break from the rain

The two Elenas

In the morning I got to preach with the other Elena in Spanish. In the afternoon I had plans with Debbie to go visit calls again. On our way back from a not at home we met an Evangelical woman and shared some scriptures with her before getting back in the truck.

We headed to see Bertania who I had first contacted last week. She was home and invited us in. We showed her the Truth tract and she thought all the questions looked interesting. We discussed the first and third with her, which she really enjoyed, so we showed her the Bible Teach book as well. After going over the first few pages, we set up to come back next week and discuss the first chapter.

It was getting pretty late but we still had another Bible Study to visit. A younger woman and her little sister were both studying out of the Good News brochure. It was a really enjoyable study and we didn't finish up there until 8PM!

2/20 - Wednesday

Nothing much happened Wednesday so I don't have any pictures. Bailey and I had done some early morning preaching downtown by ourselves and when we met at the hall, it didn't work out to continue in service. So we took the day off and stayed home.

2/21 - Thursday

This is where we met for Spanish

There was a cat a the house that really didn't want to get off his comfy chair

We hiked up some crazy dirt hills to reach people that morning

This was my preaching partner for the morning

Anylina came to meeting that night!!

2/22 - Friday

Pricilla, Natalie's study we visited in the morning 

We studied signs and helped her prepare for the meeting

That afternoon I went with Lauren to visit a little girl who is deaf, Yanet. She had a few friends that came and watched as well. We were trying to teach her who God is. Here Lauren is showing them Listen and Learn in ASL on her tablet 

Here's what I drew.

Sorry guys my computer is at someone's house copying ASL video files. It's 40GB so it's taking days to copy over WIFI. Therefore I can't upload pics. However hopefully I'll be adding some posts soon! Thanks for your patience.

Day 14

Bailey and I left for the service meeting before Jo and Emily so we bid them good bye, leaving them in Natalie's care since she didn't start work until later in the day.

After the service meeting, we were walking to the Gua-Gua station when I heard my name being shouted! Turning around, there was Emily, Joanna and Natalie all on a moto cart heading to the bus station! It was nice to see them safely on their way. Unfortunately, upon reaching the capital their flight was delayed but hopefully they'll be on their way soon.

They rode in something like this

Bailey and I took a bus with Oso and another young sister out to La Pascuala to go on a study for Joann and to help Domingo prepare for the meeting Sunday.

Both of them did a really good job on the study and it was encouraging to see how much they have learned form their studies. During meeting prep with Domingo, we drew one picture/paragraph/answer. At the end his mother came out with a huge plate of rice, three fishes on top (they looked like the fish I'd eaten on Monday and probably looked like the fish Jesus ate all the time now that I think about it) and a mug of beans. How hospitable of her!

That afternoon a study I was going to go on was canceled so we headed to the beach this time with the other Natalie and her son Andrew. We walked way out the bridge again and this time we actually went swimming off the island. There is a dock you can jump off of into the water. It's a beautiful beach but unfortunately a lot of trash is littered about the trees and grass there. In paradise, it will be a really nice looking place but for the time being we just enjoyed looking out the ocean and at the boats docked across the water.

We continued to explore the island as the sun went down, a path led back into the jungle where the remaining skeletons of unfinished structures lay. We didn't quite make it to the end since we wanted to get back to the mainland before dark.

We ended up heading back to the house with Natalie and Andrew for some Grapefruit Seed Extract. It's supposed to help get rid of any parasites you might get from eating contaminated food and we didn't want to take any chances.

We ended up staying for dinner, eating BLTs, guacamole and watching TV which was a really nice way to spend the evening!

This is looking up the street from our front gate so you can see how tiny it is.  Julia's house is the yellow one on the right.

Not real sure what these are. Saw them in the park the other day.

This is the island we were on Wednesday when we went whale watching. We saw it on our way to zip lining since we were climbing way up high into the mountains.
