México: Loving God, Loving Others: Semana Seis

Not a whole lot of news this week, which may be considered a good thing.

We had a pretty “normal” week of school aside from Thursday. Our “normal” tends to change from week to week. I don’t think I’ve had two weeks in a row that were the same, but it keeps me on my toes! :)

Monday, we took a new school picture with our additional two students because we all wear our red shirts on Mondays! (Check out the picture at the end of this post!) After school we took the kids to Cocula (a nearby town) where we and all of our students had to get our pictures taken to make official school IDs.

Thursday, we didn’t have school as a team of ladies (and some men) from the city (Guadalajara) came in to hang out with the kids. Once a month this group comes to visit and they teach the kids about different countries, do some crafts, They taught them about Norway, played with them, did crafts with them, as well as a little cooking! The food was delicious and even I learned a lot about Norway that I never knew as I sat in on most of the presentation. After they left we had the kids come up and do a few more activities that the ladies left for them. One project was to make a little poster where each kid drew a picture of something they learned about Norway. It turned out super cute! (Amber and I even added what we learned!)

A team arrived yesterday evening and they will be here all week. There are 7 of them and they will just be working on some construction, helping with the kids, and other little projects throughout their time. The kids were very excited about their coming as the leader was an intern who was here for a couple weeks this past summer.

Prayers for my youngest student (3 year old) would be greatly appreciated! This week he got sick and had a few seizures. His fever was incredibly high! He’s doing better now, but prayers that doctors would be able to figure out what is causing the seizures would be greatly appreciated!

This week we are making some more changes to our school schedule…yet again. If you think of it, prayers that our transition to this new schedule would go smoothly and that the kids would not be overwhelmed would also be appreciated as the schedule has changed SEVERAL times in the past month and a half.

Enjoy the pictures below…Some are from the day the group from the city came. (Disclaimer: Most of the pictures were not taken by me)
