Day 9: Feliz Dia de Independencia

I like the class I´m taking. It´s mostly review, but it´s review that I need. I´ve heard that it takes somewhere around six months for a grammer rule to become part of one´s natural speech.
After class we met for lunch, then we went to the art museum.
After the museum, we decided to go out and celebrate the fourth of July doing something "American," which apparently means going to a bar.
At the bar I started talking to one of the girls about her spiritual journey. She grew up Catholic, but along the way lost her faith. When her dad gave her the option of continuing to go to church or not, she stopped going.
We live in the same area, so we got to continue talking on the bus and all the way to her house. I wasn´t sure how she felt about the whole conversation but she said before she left, "Good conversation, we´ll have to continue it sometime." Sweet!
I really like the "questioning evangelism" approach because it puts an emphasis on listening to the other person while also posing questions to them to make them think about what they believe.
I also saw Katie talking with Erin (which is much more significant if you know who Erin is) about Erin´s spiritual background which was encouraging.
I´m excited to see God working.

More pictures soon.
