Wow, time flies.

I cannot believe that it is December already. It seems like yesterday that I arrived in Honduras. However, I am still enjoying my time here greatly.

I'll be home for Christmas...(Dec 17 here I come!)

This week has been fairly uneventful. My kids have been busy working on their new spelling list this week and they always love it when they get to spell with playdough. So, I took a few pictures to show off their nice work they did. In addition, the 1st graders are getting better and better everday. I was so excited to have one of the girls read to me and to see her smile on her face was a wonderful feeling. Yes, reading is a slow process, but they are coming right along. I am still trying to figure out how to help the good readers excell and the struggling readers learn how to read. It is a process when all your kids are at totally different levels.

This weekend was a nice low-key weekend. I got to stay in Gracias all weekend and get some school things out of the way. It was so nice to relax and get back on my feet again. On Friday night Kendall and I went over to Kristi and Shannon's to babysit there kids so they can go on a nice date. It was nice to hang out in a home and spend time with Tyler and Emma. On Saturday I brought my laundry to the laundry mat and got alot of school work done. In the evening, us roommates, went out to eat at a nearby pulperia. One of our students (9th grader) were there and she wanted to paint our nails. I would have to say I have never had my nails looking this good ever in my life! she really has an act for painting nails.

Today we went to a house church with Kristi and Shannon. I helped with sunday school with the younger kids. It was fun to get to work with them. There are about 10 kids that show up every week so it is great to see the excitement on their faces. After the house church we headed to a small town called La Campa. La Campa is knonw for its pottery. We got to learn a little bit about the pottery and the people who make it. I could not believe that process that these people go through to make the pottery. THey have the clay sit for 15 days and then it takes them at least 2 days to form the pot, and then they ahve to put it in the fire. It is a lot of work for  hardly any pay. They have such a talent and gift for making pots.
