We are in apartment 4. Our neighbors are in apartments 3, 5, and 6. I told Dad I wanted to go talk to our neighbors and he said OK. So the next day we got some candy that we bought in the U.S.A. and went to apartment #3.
The lady who answered the door was about in her sixties. We said hola and she replied. Then we told her we were visiting and that we lived in the U.S.A. All of a sudden she started pointing to our door and letting out this gush of Spanish words. We couldn't figure out what she wanted to say. She rang the doorbell of our apartment and opened the door. She said"Llave?"(YA-vae) which means key in English. Dad took out his key and she looked confused. So we kept trying to talk to her but we couldn't communicate with her very well.
Back in our apartment, we decided that she probably thought we meant that we were visiting the people living here instead of us visiting Spain. Oh, well. The next apartment we visited was #5. Lady again, about in her late twenties. This time was much better. She seemed to slow down if we didn't understand. Towards the end she said we could visit her anytime. Then when we were coming back from KFC she had the door open and said that her brother(13) could take us to the park anytime. We gave her brother a football. We might get to know them well enough to give them a Bible tract.

Excellent writing Kathryn. How nice for you to be so neighborly! I hope you will be able to influence your neighbors for Christ. Since you wrote so well, I'll excuse you for missing Lit Club. You get an "A" in my book.
I wanted to go to lit club(also known as football club for Josiah and me)but my parents said no because everybody in our family has a cold(Dad thinks it may be something worse since we've had it for three weeks). Anyways, I like it here. We get a lot of Fanta orange and Fanta lemon. There were a lot of people selling stuff when we went to Goudi park.
