We are
settled in and getting ready to start a new school year. This year will look a
little different than last year. We have two new teachers Mr. and Mrs. Cook
from Canada and three fewer students. Three of our students are on furlough in
the States. So doing the math we have four teachers and five students.

Terry will
be working with the two high school students and the Cooks will be working with
the younger children. I will be in and out of the classroom assisting. Terry and I will be able to get in two hours a
day of Spanish with this schedule.
In the
afternoons I will be tutoring some of the MKs that attend the national
schools. I will also be putting together a MK Club for all the MKs twice a
month, working in our churches children’s Sunday school, and hopefully learning
some Spanish while washing papas (potatoes) an hour a day at El Sendero. Terry will be
doing a Bible Study and working in the English Club on Sunday evenings.
In between time, I will be getting lost,
making a fool of myself with my language skills, choosing a cell phone and learning how to use it, riding buses and taxis by myself, learning my phone number and address, learning how to wear boots with a higher heel than I am used
too, all of this in Spanish. And yes, I think there is a Ecuadorian way of wearing
boots with heels.
