Our team continues to teach classes each day with fourth, fifth, and sixth graders. We are teaching on honesty, respect, cooperation and caring. The kids have loved seeing us each day and we are very humbled. When we arrived at the school this morning, they were all waiting at the gate and screaming our names. The smiles and anticipation makes all of the preparation and heat worthwhile.
Our translator Rolando has continued to be sick and is worsening despite giving him the antibiotics. Please continue to pray for his healing and protection for all of us since we are all sleeping in such close quarters.
One of the focuses for these two weeks is to bond with a family who has relocated to this village after the earthquake. They are a beautiful family who now live on the same land as the grandparents and aunts. There are seven kids total between the two families and they are all so beautiful. Currently, all three families share one outhouse and when Larry arrives they will finally have a bathroom. They have a desire to teach the people of the community but are just getting settled themselves.
Yesterday, after working at the school, the family took us to the river. It was an amazing experirence. Surprisingly, it was very warm so we all took a dip. If you asked me if I would do this, the answer would always be no. However, with the heat, a dip was a life saver!
Continue praying please!
We love you all.
