Subbing, New Friends, & A Car

AFE

A little update on the happenings of the Lewis adventure since our last posting.  Today marks the end of 3 months of living in Honduras, and it feels like home.  The most recent news is that we have been searching for a car since we arrived here in Tegus, and we finally found one on Wednesday, took it to our mechanic who said that everything checked out and bought it on Thursday!  Praise God!  We are the new owners of a 2001 Mitsubishi Montera!   

This last week, Ryan subbed for computer and sociology classes at AFE for another volunteer who was in the states.  He did an awesome job learning the ropes of the classroom all while speaking Spanish. 

Computer Lab

I spent the week recovering from a lower back muscle spasm, and I am so grateful for all the prayers these last 2 weeks.  I am getting better every day and hoping to be 100% by next week.  There are these 2 little girls who have been coming to me every day during recess to see if I can play with them, and I keep having to disappoint them by saying that todavia me duele la espalda, my back still hurts.  I can’t wait to be able to go on the playground with them.  They both gave me coloring pages that they colored, I think to help me get better – they are the sweetest.    

Lindsay and me

We have made two new friends, JJ and Lindsay, who are both professional videographers making a documentary of the students at AFE, focusing on the graduating seniors.  They are hoping this film will bring in scholarship money to send more students to the university.  JJ and Lindsay will be here until December after graduation to capture the story of 3 graduating seniors: Rene, Gabi, and Marilyn.   

The students are getting close to start the final push before their final exams which begin the week of October 31.  Keep all the students of AFE in your prayers during this time, especially for our 9 graduates who will be the very first graduating class from this school.
