Start of the Third Week

It's about 6:15 AM here in Yakima.

I had to get up early this morning to prepare a test review for my class. We only have two days of class this week and then they have a 4th of July break until next Monday. So works out perfectly to have test Tuesday before the break.

It was a nice weekend. Relaxing. Friday evening we went out miniature golfing. Wow, I did horrible! But it was fun. After golfing, we went out for a burger at the famous Yakima "Miners." Pretty good and massive burgers.

Saturday was a cleaning day. We did a lot of work in and out of the house. Br. Dan Morgan moved in his stuff on Saturday also. He and Br. Jonathan arrived from Portland. Br. Dan actually did officially move in until Sunday. Anyway, before Br. Dan and Jonathan left we went out for mexican food. It was my first Mexican meal here in Yakima. We went to a restaurant called "El Porton." It was pretty darn good!

Sunday we went to Selah for mass at St. John's. They actually have a very nice pastor who called the Brothers up at the end of mass to introduce them to the community. After mass, I did some reading and then went out to a movie with Br. James. Did you know that matinees here are only $4.00? Well, it didn't matter. Apparently, there is one lady who owns all the theatres in Yakima (3 of them). She give the Brothers an annual pass to watch movies free! So we saw "A Mighty Heart." It was a very intense and touching movie. I highly recommend it.

After the movie, I read some more and we prepared dinner. We had burgers! Well, Sunday kind of wound down from there.

Well, we leave for mass in about 20 minutes before heading to school.

Have a great day and week!
