Aussies!

yupp, another aussie moved into the house enabling me to sue the words jelly, jam, too right, sweet as and so forth without seeming like a weirdo amongst all the americans :P  i´m so happy!!! :D i jsut love the aussies, there way of free expression and kindness, humblesness, their joking about, their hoenstly, i dont know, i cant really explain more more than that they are aussies :P the other volutneers inthe house are really cool so i do love it here. I think i´ve managed to loose some wait as they give us model sized portions of food :P feeeeling good.
anyway. i was at chruch this weekend and it was really nice. the guy that translated for me last week told me he had been on his mission his english was really good, sounded like he had been a member for a long time, then this sunday his mum got the holy ghost...so what was cool, knowingf the story behind it. it was  really nice meeting and i got translation from a older man who had served his mission in spain (there were like 30 americans tourists there this sunday:P), but i do think i am the only permanent gringo for a while. they ppl are really nice though, got offered to follow with a family to bolivia for a few days, kindof tempted :P its a busride away. 
anyway.....i´ve started meeting my tandom, its really cool to finally jsut meet some regular locals. He is really nice and his english is really good, i am impressed by all locals that speak a bit of english bc ther are not many, which i guess is helpful to my spanish.

the school i work at now has such cute kids and well planned workers, very appreciated and seldomly found within the volunteeer field. one of the little girls keeps correctinbg my spanish when i saty something wrong. very helpful and so cute :P

anyway......talk another time!
hugs
