The Beauty of God's World (part 2)

    This morning I headed to breakfast with Jaden and then spent the morning prepping for the 10th grade's lesson on exponential functions.  I also made an answer key for the homework that I was going to assign them, as well as began the lesson for 9th grade for tomorrow.

   Kaylyn let me know that Brithany screamed louder than she has ever heard her scream in the Chosa this morning while I was gong.  She met me when I got back to our room from class, took a quick bathroom break and then we walked to the Chosa together to finish out the morning there with the toddlers as we usually do.

   At lunch, the tia Berta (who was with us last year in the Chosa) gave me ciruelas (which are plums).  They definitely did not look like ciruelas, so I had to google them and apparently they are very hard and green before they ripen into yellow, red or purple coloring.  Most fruit down here gets picked and consumed well before it ripens.  I am not sure how I am going to like these, but she said that Jaden has already had them, and we will need to eat them with salt.  I asked Jaden about the salt, and he said we will definitely need to eat them with salt.

   Jaden spent the day bagging sawdust from the Bodega (warehouse) and then putting it into a container by the horse barn, as well as doing poop patrol for the horses, changing their water, and picking up grass in the stable that shouldn't have been there.  Snow (Elvia's dog) jumped on Jaden's back this afternoon because he really does not care for men, so I needed to have a chat with Jaden about responding to the dog.  Snow wears a muzzle, but the jump still shocked him.  This afternoon he watered Alexander's plants in the Greenhouse, ran errands with Chino, and then raked and picked up grass.

   This evening it was Jaden's turn to go walking with the medium boys around the outskirts of Emmanuel.  We gave Chino enough Mexican paletas (chili coated suckers) to give one to each boy on the walk.  Jaden said they were ALL thankful for those paletas.  Chino took pictures of the crew on the walk last week which I'll share here since I just received them a day or two ago.
