3 Days Left!

What a blur this week was for me because it went by soooo fast. I (Gabrielle) had two tests this past week and one more to go next week and Aaron still has 2 more to go. I also had a pretty important test done but one they say you study for just like you study for a blood test! I took my language proficiancy test that the IMB requires us to have after each trimester. What happens is I go and talk, in spanish, for 30 minutes with our mentor Rebecca who does these tests all over Mexico. She then rates me at one of these levels:
Novice
Intermediate
Advanced
Superior
And then those are broken down to low, medium and high.
And then those are broken down to basic, mid and strong. Very technical.
To be able to go to Mexico Aaron and I have to reach a rating of Intermediate High, atleast.
So I went and talked and came out with a rating of Intermediate Low Strong! I couldn't believe it. Aaron has his Language test Tuesday so we will have his score by next week. By receiving this rating it gave me so much more confidence that what I was sent here to do is attainable.

This week the school held a function that I think has been the best function yet. At the end of every trimester the school holds a garage sale! I was so excited to attend and buy used stuff. I even walked around 4 different times just to look again in hopes of finding something I didn't find the first time. Oh the things we take for granted! A few items we were able to get: backpacks for the girls (High School Musical for Mylee and a smaller pink and black one for Evie), a couple books for Evie, beach toys to take with us in a couple weeks, a reading book for me, new kitchen towels, and a small christmas tree with a few ornaments and a string of lights! I was so excited about that. And we bought one more item for the girls that you will be able to see in the picture link below. They absolutely love it and I only paid $5 for it! Have a great week!
