A few more pictures

Here are some of my final favorites as the semester finished up.

This is the last night at church, when the congregation threw me, and Graham and Linda a goodbye party. Of course, as with all Mexican celebrations/social events, lots of food was
involved. Rachel, Graham and Linda and I all sang English hymns for the congregation that night, and it was also when I decided I wanted to be baptized!

Yadira and Pepe (engaged to be wed this December, when I hope to return to Guanajuato with Ryan) ate at the back of the hall. They were great friends who were always wanting to share truth with me!

Yadira's cousin, Mari ate on the floor with Pastor Cesar's sons. They're so cute!


Here, my Grammar and Composition class met at a coffee shop (Los Carcamanes) for our last review before the final exam. What bittersweet times! We were anxious to finish the semester and see our families, but hating to leave friends and our new families behind! Rocio is helping David, as Kate, Ashley, and Andrea listen on. You can tell I'm really paying attention, too...at least to getting some good pictures!

This is the one of roofs outside my bedroom. On this particular one, I witness cats, dogs, and sometimes roosters. I wonder how they all got along, though, admittedly, I never saw them all there at the same time!

This is a funny shirt on an old man we saw downtown. He had no idea what his shirt really said. Actually, I think that is what happens frequently; people where English shirts without knowing really what they say. I tried to explain it to him, but as I walked away, THEN I realized it has a double meaning!

Lucky for me, Ryan came to visit again 2 weeks before my return home! Ha! (Isn't he great?!?!) Here is the handsome guy trying on some hats in the Mega (Mexican Walmart, but more "upscale," believe it or not.) Isn't he such a good-lookin' guy?! He only stayed 2 days the second time; gotta love cheap stand-by buddy passes! I carried this sign when I met him in the airport. Translation: "Someone in Gto. love you, Ryan Fisher!"

This is our last movie night at my house with my host father. Afterwards, we had palomas, cake and lots of fun. Hans brought back some Cuban cigars ("Puros") from his wild trip to Cuba over spring break. I actually got to puff it a couple times, too. Don't I look like a natural?
