This morning, I went with a teacher from Los Olivos named Olga to school. I was able to watch the way she conducted her class and now I am not as nervous at all! I was also introduced to my classes: I have four classes of second graders and three classes of third graders, and they are cute! There was a school assembly this morning where the Transit Police were informing the students proper ways to be in the streets and afterward I got introduced. Then, at recess (which lasted an hour and a half as opposed to the half hour the schedule said) the real fun began. Little girls of all grades came up to me to hold my hand and touch my hair and just stare while the boys would come up in sporadic groups to say "Como se dice (fill in the blank) en Ingles?" (How do you say..). I had so much fun sharing my love with them.
I came back from school and relaxed a little bit (after five minutes of not being able to unlock the door to the house with my key). I played with Emmanuel for a little while (he is the most precious little boy!) and got ready for what I am going to do tomorrow; I think (with God's help) I can do it!
I absolutely love Oscar and Karla, they are so nice and welcoming! They put me at ease right away.
Keep praying! I need it very much!
