This weekend was a fun one for us! Brett and his friends finally got the YMCA to let them use it to play ball. We usually play at the local park but the last time it was like a circus there. There was so many people who wanted to play that the locals started arguing telling the Ross students they couldn't play so we just left. The YMCA is better to play at anyway, nicer court and hoops. Brett just got some new D wades and is ballin it up out there!
Friday and saturday night I had the dance recital with The Louis Seiler Academy of Dance. I loved it! All of the dances were fun and entertaining for the audience. Brett was so supportive and was there both nights and admitted that he liked the recital!!! YAY! I love doing things like this, it makes me know what I want to do and have when I someday have my own dance recitals. I choreographed the hip hop routine called right round, also I choreographed the gymnastics routine Rockin Robin. The kids did such a good job in the performance. 
That gymnastics class was tough 20 kids against me... but we made it through! I have been asked to do more summer classes and am considering it. Both Friday and Saturday performances went well. It was a lot of fun.
Saturday our friends Brandon and Tori came to the show and we went to dinner after and walked around Port Lucaya. We did jazz hands in the street and had a great time. We love doing anything with them they just are like the sprinkles on top of a cake... they just make things better!
Today at church we had a very very full class with 8 teenagers! Most of the kids know what reverent means but some just can't grasp the concept. Before class we remind them to think about where they are and how they should act. Our lesson today was about keeping the sabbath day holy. One girl raised her hand and we are thinking cool participation... Then she loudly blurted out: So since it's wrong to have sex with your brother how did Adam and Eves kids not be retarded? oh man..... I was like WHAT??? Then one boy said that they didn't even have any girls so how are we here? Then everyone had something to say about having sex with siblings and Adam and Eve and it was a little crazy for a minute... Finally we just said save those questions and we took time after the lesson and answered them.. it felt a little like bible bashing but Brett did a really good job at keeping it under control.
Religion is a huge part of the culture here. The day we were at the park playing ball and the argument happened there was some huge speakers and what looked like a dj by the court and we thought maybe there was a function. So you know me Ms. Curiosity I went and asked and he said no there is no function there has just been complaints lately that there has been disturbing music played so in the evenings they set up the speakers and play good christian music. So while all the guys are on the court yelling at each other we have blairing chirstian music playing... it was kinda humorous. Our gym at school is finally finished! it is all brand new and shiney! we are excited to start using it!
