Friday, Augst 28th
It was finally the last day of my first week of school! We were all excited because Vicente had told us earlier in the week that he and Dennis would be in Gracias on Friday! So when he got to school, Sarah came by my class and was like they’re here! And I got so excited and told her to watch my class for a minute so I could go say hi; when I got back the kids were like we’ve never seen a teacher that excited before! I was like well we’re people too and have friends and get excited to see friends we haven’t seen in a while! Lol it was hilarious to them. I got through the day and first week of school! I also found out this school has a lot of people who are related to each other; like a lot of the kids and admins are related in some way or another. After school we went into town with Vicente and some people from Michigan visiting for dinner in town. While we were at dinner, Vicente suggested we go to the Honduras vs Trinidad soccer game next weekend and we were all like yes!! I¨m so excited now for next weekend...GOING to a Honduras futbol game! It was on my list of things to do when I came here. Afterwards Dennis and Vicente came to our house to see how things were going for us. They stayed for a while and we played poker and listened to a CD Vicente made us of Honduran and Latin American music. It was a great way to end the week.

We were all in desperate need of clean underwear, so we brought our laundry to be done and then we headed into town. We took a mototaxi down from a neighbor name Mauricio who lives up by our house. We got more food and things for house: in the market and all around town. After we stopped at this place and got these whole fruit natural popsicles and went back up mountain. We made spaghetti and green beans for dinner…so good! It’s crazy here how thankful and excited we get for such simple things, but it’s great too. We played more with the neighbors tonight. I love the neighbors; they are so generous and kind and the kids are so fun to be with and love playing with us. I can´t even tell you how cute and precious these kids are... I´m so lucky.

Sunday August 30th
We went to the comedor for breakfast because Sonia, who owns it, invited us. She made us baleadas,which are big tortillas with beans and cheese and some good sauce on them. They´re so filling and so good. We chilled, got our laundry, put house together more, and then went to Froni’s swimming pool with the kids and neighbors. The pool was kinda dirty but it was fun playing with the kids and something to do. Later in the afternoon we learned how to make tortillas with Sonia and hung out with kids some more. I went to school to get my curriculum stuff by myself close to dark and I dont’ know if do that again! It was just kinda creepy with it being dark and stuff. I stayed back from church to do my own devos and did some planning for tomorrow.
