Hola a todos! The first couple of days of my internship here at UTRI have been completed, and it's been pretty cool thus far. We haven't gotten into any of the intense stuff yet, but this week will prove difficult. I got here on Friday and spent yesterday and most of today just kind of chilling. I'm thankful for the downtime, though, because I know that I'll need it to get me through this next week. Our days will start at 7:30 and end around 7 pm for the most part. We have a team coming in next Sunday and another team the next week. After that, all of UTRI is going to be taking a road trip to Missouri! That was quite a surprise but exciting nonetheless. The founders of UTRI have deep roots in Missouri, so we're going to work with a church up there for a week. It should be pretty cool...I'm always up for a road trip!
We haven't gone over to Mexico, yet...we'll go over a lot more when we have a team here. I did have the chance to go to a Spanish-speaking church this morning, which I enjoyed immensely. I understood pretty much everything that was said, and it was nice to be immersed in the language. I love being able to communicate in another language even if I'm not 100% correct all of the time. Hopefully I'll improve while I'm here, though!
I'll try to update again soon. We might have a free day next weekend, so I'll let everyone know what's going on. Hope all is well!!
Paz,
Amelia

Oh good! Another summer where I get to live vicariously through Amelia. Yea!
I love all the work you do to get better with your Spanish. I majored in a language, too, and didn't put in nearly enough effort, so never got good at it. Now I've lost most of it.
You're doing the right thing by immersing yourself in Spanish in so many places. And in the end, you'll not only be able to speak the language fluently, but think of the stories you'll be able to tell your kids!
Anxiously waiting to read about your next adventure...Stephanie
