Food Yani made, YUMMY!
Delicious food that we had tonight at Tom's house
My day was interesting yesterday. The meeting was SUPER COLD DESPITE all my layers. I started rearranging my classroom and looking at the books in the afternoon and then I went over to the Raymonds house and stayed for dinner...they are AWESOME!!! and good cooks and love a bunch of food that I do....vinegary stuff, they are very home-y and SUPER NICE, they have cool kids, and yeah...I REALLY like them. they said come over WHENEVER I want and I'm going to bake and I'll cook with the Yani a lot since I like doing that! Later on at night all the SM's came over to our house and played UNO extreme and it was so fun! We play for hours! Our group is really really cool!

Maxwell Adventist Elementary School


My 5/6 Homeroom





Today, my boss at the Elementary school came--Mrs. Doss. She is the head teacher and Jill and I are the two other teachers!! We end up teaching all grades, like switching back and forth and stuff. We got a LOT of stuff done today. Definitely felt productive! :) Tomorrow we have a full schedule, but I'm getting excited for school to start!!

    Remember to use good common sense as you meet people there, esp your age or older...don't wander off with them alone, always stay in groups. Remember Natalie Halloway....YOU MUST BE CAUTIOUS and trust/pray to GOD daily!!!

    Thanks for the new info. Enjoy reading your blog. Sounds exciting & glad to hear you've made some new friends, esp. the Raymonds'. Be safe, my dear and know We LOVE YOU & miss you! Don't get sick with the cold, wet weather. Will be praying for your classes & work there. Let Jesus shine in ALL you do!

    Is Yani the cook at the Raymonds house? I see all those delicious looking dishes....yummy! One more thing...remember HIV/AIDS is very very prevalent in that country, so use GREAT handwashing, beware of blood contact with locals, and be very germ conscious around strangers there....wouldn't want you to get sick. It is a virus that is spread (mostly thru blood but possibly thru saliva, and other bodily secretions.) Claim Psalms 91 to keep you safe in all ways each day!!!

    Thanks for all the concern! And DON'T WORRY! I'm being careful and safe! Because of the elevation, there isn't any Malaria to worry about and I'm never in any contact with blood, but I understand to be careful and wear gloves and stuff if I did. School starts next Tuesday and I'll post more pictures of food that we eat!

    saw your photos on facebook and loved them too! Remember to send photos of you doing your SM tasks there so folks can see their donations in action!!! Loved all the photos of the landscape and scenery as well as the FOOD....you may not come in contact with blood, but IF you cut yourself, the virus germ can enter into you, so be very careful in the kitchen!!!!!

    Gee, she makes my job so much easier! :) Do be careful my dear, you know it's only because we love you so much that we worry about these things. Food pics are good, but I like the ones with action/people/scenery more! Just be sure you're getting proper rest for your immune system.....surprised she didn't mention that & the hydration concern! Do you need to drink bottled water? <3 you

    I wanted to save a few things for your mother to worry !). But they both are very important ...must keep immune system working 100% and rest and what we eat really affects it, as well as TRUST IN GOD!!! As for the water, we discussed Boiling IT....check with others there from USA and see what they tell you. Bottled water is probably ok, but check where it is bottled before you drink.....never assume it is from USA.
