We woke up and went to church with the fam. There was a section of worship where people shared praises and thanks, and Horacio said he was grateful to have us visiting for the month. We stood up and waved…slightly embarrassing but very kind. A Sunday tradition for the Vivares family is to eat pasta. In Argentina, there are actual pasta factories or stores where families go to buy pre-made pasta. We went with him and got ravioli. It was very good. Afterward, we drove to the Brazil v. Venezuela soccer game. It was pretty cold, but very fun. The stadium was less than half the size of the Big House, so it was entertaining to watch. It was a 0-0 tie, but still fun to watch. We drove home and I felt like I finally connected a bit with Horacio and Milton. I found out that Milton can speak a little English and is taking an English class. So I told him that I’d help him with his English homework if he helped me with Spanish. It made me feel more comfortable with trying more Spanish. When we got home, Ruth had homemade pizza ready for us. Homemade pizza on Sunday nights is another tradition for them. It was a great cheese pizza and an onion pizza—just what we love, onions! It is fun to see them act as a family, and we can see how similar we are to them. We watched a little TV with the family and then went to bed.
