first communion

i have been tutoring yolani since january. it is random because i don't speak spanish but luckily her english is good. it has been such a growing experience. her mother invited me to yolani and her brother's first communion. i had never been and it was a really neat experience. the whole ceremony was in spanish but it was interesting to experience another religion.

the best part of the day probably was the after party. i showed up with my friends, jason and crystal. we walked in to have every single person in the party look at us. i especially stuck out being a tall blonde. it was incredibly awkward and part of me wanted to turn and run away! but i went and grabbed yolani instead so that she could take me to her mom. and let me tell ya, authentic mexican food is sooooo good! i want some right now! 

although the experience was enjoyable, i went to my own nephew's baptism the following and their is just a spirit in that ceremony that was missing from the communion.
