A Good Day All Around

Today our new teacher came for her first day and she was a great hit with the kids, and with us! She is creative and knows how to teach...the kids really did well with her today and she won them over almost immediately.

We also have a new part-time cleaning lady and she is nothing short of amazing...she cleans places I never knew existed!

I helped a friend deliver some clothes to a feeding center in El Progresso and along the way he introduced us to the administrators of a new orthopedic clinic for children...I had Pedro with me (he has a short leg, or a damaged foot) and they gave us an appointment for 6:30 a.m. tomorrow. It's a great clinic, brand new, Christian and American doctor staffed; and it's free! Pedro is nearly rash free; maybe now he have both his feet to help him walk.

Gershon got to enjoy his first soccer practice and to his glee they had a game today and he got to play. He chose to play goalie and had two stops.

Mauricio & Cesar continue to hone their skills on the karate mats.

All of that meant many trips back and forth, but it's all worth to see the kids begin to blossom. The school work today was just outstanding...pray this is not just a splash in the pan, but the beginning of a real breakthrough for them.
