We're finally here. Josh and I have really enjoyed living in this small town so far. Everything is seriously 5-7 minutes away. And by everything, I mean Walmart, Target, HEB (my new favorite grocery store), PetSmart, Rosa's, the mall. You name it. Yesterday we did a little driving (10 minutes) and found Bed Bath and Beyond, Old Navy, Ross, and Panera.
I didn't realize there was so much here!! This little town has a lot to offer.
Since our stay, we've realized a lot:
*We live in the ghetto side of Waco.
*Our neighbors to the left smoke bad things.
*Our neighbors to the right are creepy. They also have a rooster.
*Waco is the 17th poorest city of the US.
*We like having a house.
*My school is 5 minutes from Baylor Law.
We visited Antioch church today and really enjoyed it. We were really impressed with the sincerity and authenticity of its people. This morning, the service was about justice. Cool, huh. It was amazing. I cried. The service was also translated to Spanish. Again, very cool. At the end, I noticed the service was 1.5 hours, a little strange for me because I'm used to the Baptist way of hour long services. We're going back next week for the service a meet the staff luncheon.
My teaching classes are done. I learned so much and everything was so encouraging. And I feel extremely equipped. I should probably get back to doing some teacher-studying now.
Love,
Gilda
