My typical week. By Gloria Patricia Paz
My week starts at 6 am when I awake, then my husband and I read one bible´s
chapter. it´s an habit so important for us, After that, at 6:30, I put on my training outfit
and I go to a nearby athletics track or some time I do exercise at home whith aid the
Xbox. Three times per week, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.
I come back home at 8 am, I take a shower and make the breakfast. At 9am I carry
the breakfast to my husband to his work place. At 9:30 I´m at home again so start to
study and make the academics assignments, until at noon.
From 12m to 2pm I prepare, and have the lunch.
After noon I begin my work journey. From 2pm to 6 or 7 pm, it depends how
many orders that I have. I work by my own, like a fashion designer at home that is the
why I can to optimize the time between job and house duties. Another days such the
Wednesdays and Fridays I go out to participate in the preaching, home by home,
because my husband and I are Jehovah witnesses. We visited the people interested and
we led biblical courses with them. I do that from 4pm to 6 or 6:30 pm.
At the evenings I make a snack meal for me and my husband and we watch tv for
one hour some times. Another times I read while my husband prepare the next classes,
he is a teacher.
On Thursday sunsets we attend to Christian´s meetings at 5.30 to 7 pm. When we
come back home we take a snack. We watch tv a Little time, then around at 10 pm we
go to the bed.
At the weekends, Saturdays for example, we go out to preaching such a family and
visit farmhouses territories during the mornings. At noon we have a lunch. We take a
nap. And we invite Friends at home to share a meal and play Xbox games at sunsets.
In Sundays we attend to our weekend Christian meeting in the morning. The rest
of the day we use it to relax or sometimes, we hang out to take an ice cream, or watch a
film at home.
