Hola
Matt shannon here....I quit spanish. its a good thing i can point to food and usually they understand me. The visit thus far has been great. aside from the few headaches and the delusion of never having to use the washroom till they say you could die, our experience in Bolivia has been grand!
Just the other day Rachel was teaching a student some English, french or spanish. I can't keep track of that girl anymore (only what she cooks). While she was at her students place, katie and i ventured out into the open world on our own. Just buying some water was on our list and we did it! we were on top of the world, my next plan was to communicating with every gorgeous girl there about water! Agua is water in case you readers didn't know. And who doesn't drink or have water that you couldn't communicate with right? so romantic
We met the youth group. it was one of those special, first moments that you have when you're getting use to the culture and you accidently kiss the guys on the cheek instead of just the girls and you say good night when you enter the room. Rachel so kindly translated everything for us during our time there. by the end of the night they were trying to speak to us in English cause Rachel has been giving lessons. It made things more comfortable and it was fun trying to communicate with them in Spanish and them back in English. I'm sure im changing lives.
I know im changing katie's life. seems like everyday she tells me she loves me in spanish. all i hear is "Dame un beso!" and "Te deseo". Also Rachel got some chick flick that is 17 hours long about some girl cleaning some cranky ladies place who has a son who is "charming" or something stupid like that. But the real sad thing is this other boy who is speaking "romantic" crap like katie speaking spanish to me and for some reason its cute. katie and Rachael were falling apart at the scenes of this guy and this guy was falling apart, crying and creeping out this chick's window in the rain. I thought being down in Bolivia would have changed the girls. sigh....i guess the next rain storm i have to confess my undying love for some girl.
pray for the next 16 hours of movie watching i will go through, and our daily adventures in South America.

Accidentally kissed the boys, eh?
It's like I've always said. If you're not creeping around outside some girl's window, you don't understand True Love.
Matt's ost helpful Spanish phrase: besame mucho
I know you will rock it!
aimee
