Update at Last! :)

A LOT has happened over the past month, but our internet has been down so I haven't been able to post an update! Hopefully, I can summarize with the pictures below!

The Acosta family was in the States for a couple months to drop kids off to college, attend a family wedding, and visit supporters, so a couple named Katie and Noah stepped into their shoes for about a month and a half. To thank them for their hard work, we had a little going away party for them when they left in mid-September! 



After they left, we stepped into the role of primary caretakers. It was quite busy with full-time teaching (not to mention we fought a battle with mold that had stealthily overtaken our room in the middle of the craziness), but for the most part everything went well. We enjoyed a birthday celebration for Tia Jo before they left in mid-September!


Hurray for Maestra Jenny's bday! 


The Acostas came back this past weekend! It was so good to see them! They were welcomed them back with two birthday celebrations!



"La Elotiza"
We celebrated our annual corn harvest celebration on Saturday! A ton of friends are invited over to enjoy as much grilled/boiled corn as possible. The popular toppings here are sour cream, chile powder, and lime! 

The HUGE homemade grill :)

Shucking corn with the best of them!


A little taste of school...
In the K-1 Bible class, we studied about having "ears to hear" what God is saying to us through his Word. The kids loved their little "ears!" :)

                                      

We're reading the book "Poppy" by Avi for read-aloud and did some research on the great-horned owl in the story! Thanks Grandma for the wonderful bird book ;)!
