2008 Election

Last night, the Tuscan American Association had a huge gathering for people who were interested in watching coverage on the election. There were live bands that played American music, a lot of American food, and a lot of Americans! It was so much fun!

One of the many bands that played

(Sigh) The American flag made out of balloons

This band was hilarious. They were Italian Elvis impersonators!

Oh yeah, and Obama stopped by, too

Yesterday, I had a lesson with Manuela. She brought some of her homework from school to work on. She is such a sweet girl, and really smart! Her English is probably the best out of all of the students I have. Tonight, when Alessandro's grandmother dropped him off, she expressed interest in some English lessons! She wants to come at the same time as Alessandro, so she is going to have lessons with Chad while Ales has lessons with me! I am very excited about it. Tonight, we talked about Moses and learned a bunch of new verbs. When Rina came, we read some passages in Luke. It's really neat when she gets halfway through a scripture, and she realizes that it is a story she has heard before! She gets very excited!
