Max and I teach the Sunday School class (14 and 15 year olds). It has been a challenge in many aspects. First it's hard to set apart time to prepare the lesson and secondly draw the boys attention in class (they are all boys).
Someways I wish technology were for people over 21 years old. Of course, I know that is impossible and absurd.
However there are those days when these young men listen and clearly understand the principles of the gospel and the application of them in their lives. Those moments cheers us (Max and I) up unimaginably!
Tip: little chocolate treats are the most efficient bait.
Max finally got the desk computer to work; he installed Windows 7 Fancy that!,
For dinner on Sunday he made his famous and perfected Horchata!
I did my home work and worked on a weekly planner layout!
Today we slept in; my class was canceled and Max does not have classes on Fridays; with days like today it is easy to have a real breakfast and a decent lunch.
Max has been trying for the last couple days to fix the desk computer its problem basically is that it is mute and we want to plug in the fancy surround sound-system that my Brother gave us last week (he and his wife did not need it and they gave it to us) we want desperately to use it to watch netflix movies. It seems that there is no other solution than to plug the sound system to a laptop.
Later today we drove to Salt Lake City to go to the Temple and work in some homeworks at school.
Our visit in the Temple was great I always learn something new.
Then we went to the U of U so Max could do some homeworks using a special software while he was working hard I was playing with the blogging settings and I learned few tricks to make the blog look nice. Can you tell?
Now we are looking forward to watch a movie.
Good night!
Family is very important to Max and I, I would say "importantísima."
Well, since we think that way we decided to blog our family history for our future generations.We have been married for 6 months and 21 days, I can't believe it! It seems that we got married yesterday!
We both are in school and it takes most of our energy and time, however there are great days like today when I get home first and earlier and I cook a decent meal. The meal for today was "pozole" easy to make, tasty, and warm. It's the famous Mexican hominy soup garnished with chicken or pork, sliced radishes, chopped cilantro,dried oregano, chopped onion, salsa, shredded lettuce, and cheese and cream are optional.
"The best meal of the week" Max said.
In the middle of March we will have our interview with an emigration officer in order to get my permanent residency in the United States. We are very excited for that since we are already talking about traveling to Mexico; Yeehh!
I am happy and Max is happy. what else can I ask for now!? nothing I suppose...
I'm in the Entrepreneurship program as many of you know are aware. This semester I have a peculiar class on Tuesdays and Thursdays called "BUSINESS MODEL" and the purpose of the class is to create a start-up business. Well my business is "Spanish Tutoring." The scary part of the class is the "BUSINESS COMPETITION" which purpose within is to submit and present a business model.
The three aspects that will be observed in the competition are"
- Pitch (steps for a great pitch: What is the problem?, How big?, What is the solution?, (here is where the idea first appears) and Why you? (have a compelling reason, story, credentials)
- Business Model
- and something else I do not remember...(next blog entry)
This is my Pich and following it there is feedback from fellowshipping.
My pitch
I'm Liliana Peralta and my business is "Spanish tutoring"
in a face to face study session where
questions are asked,
concepts expanded,
and speaking encouraged
in order to master Spanish in its
grammar, comprehension, and communication.
Feedback given in class:
Introduce the problem I am solving.
Mention that learning another language is hard and help is essential to success
ps.- Leave comments PLEASE!!!!
