Feliz Navidad!!

We'll it's Christmas time here in Honduras, I think I'm finally beginning to feel like it's Christmas time around here. However, it's definitely a slow process because it's always so warm here, it's still about 60 to 70 degrees here everyday. This past weekend all of the classes have been rehearsing for a Christmas pageant that was put on yesterday for an hour.

Each class had about 5 minutes of choriography to a Christmas song that they did. It was very frustrating though, because I basically have not been able to teach for the last two weeks, and I still have a pretty decent amount of material to cover before the semester is over. But the performance went well I guess, I never got to see it though, because I was supervising all the kids in the back before they went on stage, and my video camera ran out of tape after like the 2nd performance. But oh well, God is still good, and I'm going back to the States tommorrow, which is very exciting.

All the North American teachers here, including me, hosted a big Christmas Cookie party since Hondurans don't make Christmas cookies, we had to enlighten them. So we invited almost all of the Honduran teachers over, all the bus drivers, the maids, alot of different people. And we baked alot of cookies, probably about half to 3/4 of the people we invited showed up. So it was a pretty good turnout. I baked peanut-butter chocolate chip cookies, which turned out really well, and then I baked these frosted flake cookies (tiger cookies) I made a few minor modifications to them, added a little more chocolate, anyway to make a long story short, they turned out looking like a bunch of black pancakes. And whenever I asked someone to guess which cookies I made, they would always say the tiger cookies, immediately. The principal said that the cookies fit my personality, I'm not really sure what that means, but I took it as a compliment.

Anyway I had alot of good talks with teachers there, and it was a really good time overall. So now I'm packing up and getting ready to leave tommorrow, school ends today at 12:00 and then I'm gonna go to the grocery store and pick up some last minute things to take home. I gave a 5 minute devotion today which I felt like went pretty well, it was cut 10 minutes short because the doors were locked to the chapel, but the Lord was definitely with me and He helped me to summarize things on the fly pretty well.

Thank you so much to everyone who has been praying for me, I am very very thankful for them.
