embuacar= to bamboozle embuacando=bamboozling

I made a lot of progress in the boldness area. Tonight was youth group and as I mentioned earlier I was studying to explain the games in Spanish. It went surprisingly well, especially since I don’t like talking in front of groups of people. But I was able to tell the kids about the game, not sound like it was just memorized and that I didn’t understand it, and the kids really really liked it. Plus, I got to talk to another one of the girls in the youth group. One thing I didn’t mention was that Pastor Phil asked me to do worship with him. So I brought my guitar and went early to practice with him when he said that Alex would be playing instead of him. Now Alex is amazing at leading worship. He’s the one who plays guitar and sings on the street corner for Christian Surfer’s. I was already worried about trying to keep up with Pastor Phil since I generally just make up stuff on the guitar as I go along. But I really love playing guitar and worshipping so when Alex got there, we practiced together. He had to teach me some chords (Like those chords that are like F#7sus that I was sure someone just made up to mess with people) and I was able to pick up his strum patterns easily and follow. The songs were all in Spanish and I didn’t know the first two, but by the last song we were both completely in synch and singing loudly (except he was doing it in Spanish and I in English. Obviously…)

After youth group he ended up hanging out with Eddy, Daniel, Daniel’s little brother Denise and I and he taught me some more stuff and we sang some songs (he made me sing in front of him so I showed him some songs) and played around with harmonies and stuff and somehow I ended up on the worship team for church Sunday. At first Alex wanted me to lead singing one of the songs until I pointed out that I can’t sing in Spanish ha ha.  :)Praise God!
