Quick recap over the past few weeks:
October 20th in the Middle of 6th Grade (reviewing for Exams) we found out that school would be cancelled for the next 7 school days. Talk about crazy! Honduran "snow days." The kids went crazy "NO SCHOOL NO EXAM." It was cancelled because our water pump was broke and it was too difficult to haul water everyday and then the pastors truck broke down etc.. So, they needed time and money to get things working. And... because of God's wonderful grace within those days of the money came in and the parts were fixed!
So... what to do with that time off eh? Well, our passports are with a lawyer so we couldn't leave the country and travel.... but we could go to the beach! So, we (Jenna, Amanda and myself) headed to Ceiba to take a week of language class! Fue excelente! I really did feel like I learned a lot. Plus, we got to visit a Garifuna village (Sambo Creek), swim in the ocean, go on a river hike (swim at the freezing waterfall), and live with a host family. I really fell in love with a little guy that was living with the host family. Faris, 15, and from La Mosquita. He even taught me some words in the La Mosquit-ian?? language! We even took a baleada/tortilla making class AND went to AppleBee's! 
No Central American trip is EVER finished without something crazy happening. On our last bus home (after being on a bus for like 4 hours to San Pedro and then 2 more hours towards Sigua... our bus broke down). So, we stood on the side of the road for a bit and it was somewhat late in the day so there weren't many busses passing. Finally a van came... and all 15 of us shoved in with the other passengers in a van to take a very tight, cozy, snug trip to Sigua. As you can see... the creepy man in the photo thought things were very interesting too.
School resumed this week. Exams are finished. My grades are done. And the parents will be at school Friday to pick up report cards!
It is almost Christmas and I am starting to get excited!!
