This morning's breakfast was oatmeal and a banana. I started the laundry process early this morning to wash all the clothes we would be giving away. We came down with 5 suitcases (some of it was sink faucets and hardware for Mike) but will only be returning with 3 (2 of them will be filled with coffee, so that is a LOT of clothes to give away). Anyway, I finished working through the calculus book today, what a feeling of accomplishment. Also, I was able to get the lesson on quadratics for the Algebra 2 class tomorrow done so math for me (aside from teaching tomorrow and meeting with Profe Jorge) is all set for this year.
Jaden spent the morning with the horses again, bringing them in and out of the horse barn as well as sweeping, and helping Andy cut wood for the bridge. Kaylyn was in the toddler house.

Later in the morning, I headed to the school as the teachers had made food to help fundraise for the school as well. There were pupusas, tamalitos, patelitos de papa and carne, baleadas, churros, and beverage bags (yes, in bags) of horchata and pina. I had Kaylyn, Noah and Jaden meet me at the school so that they could get some of the delicious options of food, and so that I could help support the school again. Jaden has never tried much of this, so it was fun to see him choose, eat and enjoy it.

Noah said today they put a metal wall in front of the water heaters in the power toddlers house, and then he spent the afternoon playing soccer with the 5th grade class. He had written a bunch of goodbye letters and wanted me to translate them for him so that those he wrote to knew exactly what he was saying.
I think one of the big news items of the night though, was heading once again to the team house (as staff and volunteers were invited to dine with them again) and hearing from LaDonna (a good friend of mine over the past 10 years) that Chino proposed to her daughter Daniela. I am so excited for Chino! Since we got to know him about 5 years ago, he has been a blessing in both Noah's and my life. Spending extra time and watching movies with his boys late into the evening and now watching many of them in the big boys house has been an opportunity I wouldn't have had without him. I hope God richly blesses him as he goes through this next phase of his life.
