School
Lessons at school this week went pretty well, some better than others, but that's to be expected. One of the activities had a lot of steps, but I wrote simple directions on the board, explained and demonstrated, and the students were able to understand. It's these small accomplishments that make me happy! I also explained America's favorite pastime, baseball, to three teachers at school this week. Now, many people from home may not think I'm qualified to do such a thing and I would probably one of the last people you would ask, but I was able to answer their questions, complete with demonstrations, and it's qualified as one of my favorite moments here so far.
Weekend Getaway
The organization I came with planned a day downtown for us, and it was so nice to be together with our little family again! We learned to dance cueca, Chile's national dance. It was a lot of fun, but my calves our killing me today! We stayed the night in a beautiful hostel! Our room had a gigantic window that overlooked the hustle and bustle of the city and I had a Miracle on 34th Street flashback.
Family Rule #1: We make dinner together as a family.
We decided to make breakfast for dinner and had quite the feast including banana pancakes, eggs, ham, cheese, vegetables, and fruit salad. Everything was delicious, especially the banana pancakes, which came from a mix that made "18 Chilean pancakes or 8 American pancakes." haha! This morning some of us had to leave right away to go back to our regions and the rest of us walked around downtown for a while. The weather was beautiful today, and has given me hope that spring is actually coming!
Thanks for your continued prayers and support!
