I can't believe it's almost Friday again! Time has flown by! I can hardly believe I have been here almost two weeks. Teaching has been fun, I have been teaching my children the days of week, but we took a break today to make valentines (in English of course!). Most of the kids made them for their parents, but I received several too! I have many cute gifts and got so many hugs and kisses today; sometimes I am overwhelmed by the fact that these children can love me so much more than I can possibly love them. God has such unique ways of doing things, all in His perfect way. And I get to be a part of it!
We have an American team of four people from Minnesota staying with us this week, they are doing some sort of homemade jam venture. They are all very nice and I have gotten to do a little bit of translating for them since they don't speak very much Spanish. It has boosted my confidence a lot to be a bit useful with my (somewhat limited) Spanish ability. I am getting better, though! Practice, practice, practice.
Today was an accomplishment too; I took a little walk of Sumpango all by myself! I walked down to the market, past Oscar's parent's house, and I was able to find my way home! I was so proud that I didn't get lost of even step into panic mode the times when I didn't know exactly where I was. It's such a nice town, but it's tricky because there are only square blocks that look the same.
I talked to home today for the first time too! So nice to know how everyone is doing, I miss it, but not the cold. Yeah, I don't miss the cold at all. It is right around 80 degrees consistently here, and it's wonderful! I could (and am) getting used to this.
Since we have this team here, I think I will get to sleep in this weekend, which will be nice. Thanks for praying and Happy Valentines Day!
