Well, here we are. Tomorrow is our first day of teaching, and I don't feel like we know what in the world we are doing! Please pray for us! In all honesty, whenevery ou do anything new in life, you feel like this. We both agree that after a week or two we will be in the swing of things and back to feeling like our lives are normal. Another new thing tomorrowis that Elizabeth goes to kinder! She is so excited, and I am hoping dearly that her excitement and expectations are met. We got a 'special exception' to enroll her in the kinder because she is actually too young (about 9 months younger then the youngest person in the kinder). To pile onto that, she does not speak hardly any spanish....so....we'll see how it goes. If nothing else, she got to buy a whole bunch of school supplies with Christy - AND - got two new pairs of shoes.
So here is a question....lets say (hypothetically) you are supposed to teach a class on 'conditionals'. And, lets say just for yucks, you don't really know what conditionals are in your own language. And, for yucks, lets say you got a few questions wrong on a test on conditionals in your primary language. Is that cool? How do you proceed.... (PS - If you are like me and do not know what conditionals are in the English language, google it to learn more).
On the plus side, we have some other pretty excited stuff going on this week. We have what I think will be an AWESOME tutor starting on Tuesday. Also, I believe that sometime this week we will have an empleada starting FULL TIME to help us out. We are so excited because this is exactly what we have been praying for. Please pray that she would make instant and lasting relationships with the kids and that she would feel comfortable with us as well.
Also, please pray for Roxanna's (our old empleada) grandson as he is back in the hospital after having surgery a couple weeks ago. He had a very high fever, infections, head pain and was throwing up. I know that two days ago that had to put him on a ventilator and the situation sounds very serious. Christy and I will have to call her this week sometime to get an update.
Sorry I've been a bit thin on the posts lately - we have just been so busy. I'm hoping that in the next two weeks we will be settled into a routine again.
