Clases!

We started classes today.
First we go to Spanish class for four hours. My class is outside for the first two hours and I love it! There are only 8 students! It's like school, but way more fun.

Our teachers are named Valeria and Hilda. They're both extremely nice (and understanding when we mess up). They won't let us speak any English, even on breaks), and if we do we have to pay 100 colones (about 20 cents)! The money goes towards a fiesta at the end of the year, but still… It's all Spanish from now on!

I'm writing this in between classes, so we haven't gone to bible class yet, but I'm really excited for it! Our bible teacher is named John, and he's also one of the pastors at the english-speaking church that we attend on Sunday nights. If Sunday night's message is anything like bible classes, my mind will be blown EVERY DAY.

I can't get over how great the other GAP students are! We get along really well! My favorite part is how everyone makes the most out of all their free time. I don't ever feel like we're wasting time, even if we're sitting around.

It's awesome here! We start small group tonight, too! I'm in a group with three other GAP students, one of the interns, and Tina, the GAP Costa Rica Director's wife! I can't wait to see what this year will be like!
