November continues the
rainy season here and fall in the states. Our family celebrates Thanksgiving
here and we all have so many things to be thankful for. It is such a blessing
to have Mekhi join our family! We are
rejoicing that our schools move to the new location went well and on Nov 1 we
held classes in the new location. The building we were renting was
sold so we needed to relocate to a small building in the center of town. It’s a
great location and easy to get to.
The tires on Bonnie's car were almost bald so she had to get new
tires. Cornelio used the old tires to make a baby swing and a swan for
beautiful recycled yard art.
Help, someone call
911.......
Cornelio is finishing
his degree at the university. He is writing his thesis on how to improve
English oral communication in high schools. He goes to a high school to apply
the games and activities he has written up in his thesis. One afternoon he saw
a high school couple "making out". The boy was on top of the girl
laying down right in the walk way. The teachers just walked by and the other
students seemed to just be watching then moving on. Cornelio, seeing this
was NOT ok behavior, said” Quick, someone call 911 this
girl is getting mouth resuscitation and she needs help." The boy
quickly jumped off the girl and everyone watching just laughed at them.
Working with teenagers is a whole different level of needing to think
on your feet and needing to be spontaneous. To God be the glory for creative
corrections.
Mom has been
such a great help and encouragement here. She looks for ways to help others
where ever she goes. Last week she met a homeless man who lived next to the bus
stop with his dog. After she talked with him in Spanish for a while she went
and bought some orange juice and bread for the man. She also bought some soap
because he said that he really wanted to wash his dog. With a full tummy and a
grateful heart this man was blessed that day and a ray of sunshine and hope
touched his life.
With grateful hearts we say "Thank
You"
to those who help us through prayers and
support.
Lives
are being changed for eternity!
