Mosquito Nets

I am working on lesson plans right now and though that I would take a break to blog. What to blog about...hmmm... my mosquito net!First it makes me feel like a princess because it is pink and I sleep under it but more importantly it keep the bugs away at night! My arms and legs were eaten up my first week here but it is getting better and I have tons of bug spray and itch cream so I will live. 

Now for the real update: work is good! There is a lot to be done here and a new team of 10 very dedicated young college students are here to help us out. The church is sponsoring these 10 youth by providing them with fully paid college scholarships to go to college in the next big town (San Juan) while working for the church here as teaching aids or youth ministers or writers. It is really beautiful to watch. They are an incredibly dynamic group and each person has a very different personality. We have the wild and loud ones and the patient and slow ones...it makes for an interesting group! They go to school and have all of their classes two days a week and work the rest. It is a good set up and I am really proud of each of them.

The weeks are getting easier here and my homesickness is getting better but being away from family and loves ones is very hard. Be sure to tell the ones you love just how much you love them when you are with them and I honestly mean it when I say that I will never take a moment with my loved ones for granted again. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, right? 

That is all for now! Thanks for following everyone!
