Today we had a half day because of the Superior General's visit to the convent. We got to meet her! She was so nice (she's the head of Mother Teresa's order sooo...) and I felt so lucky to have the opportunity to talk to her for a few minutes. Courtney pointed out that she's the first woman we've met here that is as tall as we are! She gave us little cards with a picture of Mother Teresa and a short prayer on the back. It was a great experience.
We spent most of the day just hanging out. We just finished having dinner con la familia. There was a lot of laughing, mostly at our expense because no hablamos español! Well, we do, but it's just funny to them when we say things because it's usually slow and with a confused look on our faces. One of my mom's coworkers and good friends asked her if they celebrate July 4th in Ecuador (jajaja) so at dinner I told the family and at first they laughed, but then Geovanna said she actually has off from her English class mañana for the 4th! So they do in fact celebrate July 4th here! (Happy 4th a todos en Los Estados Unidos!!!) Also, Geovanna got her first 100% on the English homework that we helped her with. Woohoo todos estan aprendiendo otras idiomas!
Here are some pictures!
