Busy times... Yeah right

Hola People,
Work is going fairly well, I've now got my full schedule sorted out now, It's really full on MON-WED-FRI with only one class in the morning on tuesday. So any T day is fairly freeish for other things (and preperation for the other classes- which will get smaller as I go) So that's all working out well. In my new classes I got yesterday one of the students looked like Ronaldo, and in the other he looked like a friend of mine back home (Just like Mat Hooper, I'm not kidding- Hola Mat if your reading this). I have about 19.5 teaching hours a week, which will provide me with more that enough money to survive. God is very good to me.
This weekend was good times, starting with Friday nite I went to the new pirates of the caribbeen movie (With Becka's crew and some others too). It got abit random in the end but I won't spoil it for anyone who is planning on seeing it. I'll give it ***, I thought there was enough subject material in the carribean to not have to make up some random stuff, anyway...Saturday was full on, I went to a Youth thing with Omar, Valentina, Nadia, and Pedro from church (Ignacio and Leslie were there as well)in Maipu (on the western side of the city). It was good times, trying to sing along to the songs and stuff. Omar gave a talk as well. We then played this crazy game (I kind of got the rules when people around me tryed to explain- I think I might try this game in NZ some time) It involved having two circles of the same number of people, you having a partner in the other circle, and when the music played the circles would spin around and arond- And when the music stopped you had to sit down with your partner.
After the talk everyone had lunch together- Some Asian cuisene. I let Pedro play around with my camera, he really liked to take videos. So I had an official cameraman. After that I played futból with the guys from church (Ignacio told me that by the time I go back i'll be like Maradonna (we'll see ha ha) And I stayed the night with the Ramos' family.
Sunday was cool, Church as per usual, then a big lunch afterwards. The old couple from next door came for the second time which was cool. The Old man (He's like 93, but full of life) was telling these stories about something, going on and on. I could hardly understand him but he was getting afew laughs from the others, and I think not understanding him was even funnier. He also makes some mean Empanadas. Next week i'm visiting another family for lunch.
Anyway that's my news for the last few days. Here's a few pics:

I was going to put more photos in but blogspot has some issues right now.
