Clouds

The clouds here are so amazing, every single day they are in the most amazing shapes I've ever seen. There are alot of them here as well considering that it is rainy season here.

It's hard to believe that I've been here for a week already, time flies when your preparing to be a school teacher. Last night we all went out to eat at one of the most famous restaurantes in all of Honduras, "El Patio" We had the most amazing orderves I have ever had, and the steak was amazing too. If anyone comes to visit on a mission trip, I definitely know where to take them on the first night!! They even had a mariachi band of 5 guys that walked around playing for anyone who would pay 100 lempiras for a song, (5 bucks). Today we went to a country club that one of the pastor's of the church is a member of. We all got to go in for free and played tennis, they had a pool, soccer, and basketball courts. It was nice to get a little tennis and physical activity in, it's very hard to do any physical activity in the city. Which is why my worst nightmare has come true, I might have to take up running! To have some kind of physical activity every week.

I'm beginning to see alot more of the poverty as we got out of the city a little bit today. And I know one of the public school teachers who was telling me about the really harsh conditions of the public schools, as well as the students. I think we are going to take some trips and do service projects with the school to help the poor. That will be really nice, I was hoping to do alot more of that when I came down here, we will see though. It's very difficult to do anything by ourselves here, since alot of muggings and robberies happen in the city, some of the teachers were robbed once last year. But in general we live in a pretty safe part of the city (so don't worry mom, I'll get a gun) just kidding. North American Teachers are very valuable teachers apparently since we know english so well. Everyone here wants there kids to speak English, so when a private school has a school with American teachers, it automatically becomes one of the premier schools, since we can speak in english without a latin accent. That's all I have time for tonight, I have church in the morning. Please pray for me as I have a very busy week ahead of me, with planning all of my lessons for the next two weeks, and school starts on Friday, along with open house for all the parents. Thank you so much for your prayers.
