Last Thursday the temperature dropped to about 50 degrees
and began raining…and it hasn’t stopped!
It has been kind of miserable and makes me feel very unproductive. Because of all the rain and cold
weather, I spent most of last weekend inside my sleeping bag. Brooke and I watched a couple movies
and with a few of the other teachers played some Settlers of Catan. We were all looking forward to getting out
of town this weekend for Beth’s birthday.
We had planned on spending the weekend in Gracias and ziplining on what
is supposed to be Central America’s tallest! Unfortunately, with the cold and rainy weather we decided
not to go because we weren’t sure the bus would make it. Instead we are celebrating Beth’s
birthday here in La Union.
Besides the crummy weather things have been going well. I am back into the swing of things and
the students have been great. The
directors from Tegucigalpa were here visiting and checking on us this
week. We all passed! They actually didn’t even sit in on any
classes but they met with the sponsored students from 8-11th
grade. They made them sign a
contract that asks them to uphold the Christian values even outside of
school. They are also required to
do 4 hours of community service every Saturday (except when we are on a school
vacation). The students were not
very excited because that started this weekend at 8am.
I have been doing a lot of thinking lately because it is
that time of year where we have to decide about staying for another year. There are a lot of people and things I
miss from home, but I know that what I’m doing here is a good thing and my
students are so great. There is a
lot to think about and a big decision head.
