Friday night I went dancing in Madrid with Javi and four of his freinds. We went to the same cubana place as last time. It was fun, we only danced until 4:30 then we went to play games in casa.
This afternoon, it was freezing and raining terrible, but somehow we planned to go the the barn and ride horses today! It was a blast !he has two but I only rade one, arriba nad the the front. The other one was a lott bit mroe acive, and we were not sure if I would be able to control it or not.

Fist student

I had my first student yesterday. It went great! I went to the house and met with the parents then they let me have the whole hour just chilin with the kid. His name is David and he is seven yers old and very smart. He understands a lot of English words. I spoke to him the entire time in English. He has problems forming sentences and expressing himself in English ya. But we practiced a lot of things. I had him show me all of the rooms of the house, which is what he has been practicing in school. We went to each room and he pointed out things that he knew. When I gave him a new word I had him sound it out, then write it on my notepad. A few times I had him make up a sentence, ec. "The Lamp is on the table." We also practiced parts of the body. We just took turns yelling out different parts of the body. I will think of a better game I promise. All in all I think the parents were pleased with the first day. I know that David had fun to. I started a log where I write down what we do each day, words we learned, and what I see he needs to practice for the upcoming week. I plan to do this with each child, for that reason I brought a pack of folders with me from the United States. sweet. I know.

Today, I bought my plant tickets to return to Spain. I feel really good about it. Really, there is no doubt this is what I am supposed to be doing. Today I went around in the morning to hang up signs reading:

Soy una nativa Americana
doy clases de Ingles
a ninos, jovenes, y adultos
para obtener ayuda afuera de las aulas de clase
llamarme!

with my name and number on slips to be torn off.
I put up about fifty around the neighborhood.
I went on another walk this afternoon because it was so nice. I walked by my fliers, everyone had one or two ripped off. And that was in four hours.
anyway, it doesn't mean anything yet, but in those moments of insecurity, it just felt like a little nudge of hope. Thanks Padre!
