Wheat Community Services, Inc

Going to Wheat Center in Clinton was fun compared to having an Oral exam in class. Justin and I had to pick out the summer clothes and get rid of it. There was one Spanish lady that tried to speak to me in Spanish and I answered back in Indonesian..woops. I'm getting all my languages mixed up. Good thing she knows how to speak English too. While I was putting away the hangers on the back room, I tried to have a little conversation with Carmen. I think I totally destroyed the sentences but at least I threw what ever word I knew in there even though it doesn't make any sense. She just smiled politely and tried to figure out what I meant to say. 

La Iglesia

On Saturday a group of us went to church in Worcester, MA with professor Rivera. What a new experience for me going to a Spanish church. I didn't know that the church spoke Spanish throughout the whole service until I got there. Trying to find the little Spanish I knew felt like someone threw money all over the place and I had to catch as much as possible.
Sabbath School was interesting though because I had a student traslate for me but I didn't know how to reply to the sabbath school teacher that kept asking us questions and comments. I understood the whole service because another student translated for me. I was glad that there was a group of music major students that came along and gave special musics. Because I thought that it was only going to be me, Heidi, and Paul. I was shocked that we had to give a testimonial up on stage..in Spanish. The students that spoke fluent Spanish was so lucky. Me on the other hand had to speak Spanglish. Oh and Lynise showed up in the middle of the service, that was a good surprise too.
Potluck was yummy but I notice that the potluck was made especially for us because the congregation was out the door after the church was over. Overall it was a fun experience. The students that didn't join us that Sabbath missed out on some fun stuff.

Second Oral Exam

Our second exam seemed a lot a first and I was not well prepared as I wanted to be. I tried to memorize the verbs that we had in class and watch the video but when I tried speaking it and making my own sentences, it seemed like I had my own language going on. I had trouble with saying the words I wanted to say. I had a lot to say but nothing was coming out right. Actually only English came out, not Spanish words. I think I kept saying the same verbs over and over again. Well, those were the only verbs I could remember since it was nerve-wracking. We were the first ones to do the oral exam, but I'm glad we got it over with.
