The first days after Christmas break

Well it has been exciting month! The American teachers all headed home to spend time with family and friends over the Holidays. We now have two days under our belt for the 2010 school year! Tuesday was just exciting as I thought it would be. All of the kids were really excited to see us and we recieved lots of hugs and smiles! Along with some jitters about teaching again the day was full of a reassurance to why we are all here in Sigua working for Destino. Primero is still working toward a pizza party so pictures should be posted of them soon, but until then here are some pictures of Prepatoria (Kindergarten) and Primero. Please pray for the health of the students. Today in Kinder we had 7 kids out! It is quite chilly here and we want them all to stay warm and healthy.

Thanks, Amanda
