Hey everyone!
Transfer calls came this morning and I DONT HAVE TO MOVE.
YAY! I was prepared for the worst to happen and it didn't. So that's just
great.
This last week has been mad brick. This whole city is
brick. (A little NYC slang lesson; that means cold. Very cold. When you add the
word 'mad' in front of anything it magnifies it.) Windchill Saturday night got
down to -25 degrees here. Not lovely out, in other words.
We taught English class. We have a student here that is
from Slovakia, but he lived in Spain and taught himself Spanish. So he is
learning his third language through his second. Very very smart guy. Very very
communist as it turns out, but he's here now so that should change.
We are teaching the Barrionuevo family. They are great.
Their kids are insane. Our favorite kid is Tito. He is ten years old and is
getting close to baptism! We are all super excited for him and he is more
excited than us. I wish his parents had is 1. Intelligence, and 2. His
animo(excitedness?).
We've now seen two car accidents! Car came through an
intersection hauling cheeks, hit a car, and then got a guy on the sidewalk. A
little East New York excitement.
Forgot to mention this earlier and now it's too late but,
Go Broncos!! It's about time they got a super bowl. Manning can now rest is
peace.
This is Mei Wei! The best and cheapest Chinese takeout in
NYC.
