Week 3

One more week down, and with very little problems. We had a great week, the kids were exceptional, and Elizabeth celebrated her 22nd birthday. Although I was down with a cold, Elizabeth and I managed to get our kids to school on time, to estudios and everything else. I hate being sick in Mexico, I am never sick in Florida, but for some reason, Mexico is not liking me right now. But After much sleep this week, and Penicilin I am starting to feel better. Although I had a cold, with a slight fever, it felt as though my throat was being ripped out of my neck. But I resorted to my dad´s cure of gargling salt water. And it already feels better, thank you Dad. After gargling the water for 1 day my throat is healing.

Our kids went all week with out fighting which we were very proud, and then today two were in the dorm fighting over nothing. But we still had a great week. I got to teach Josué his times table and it was very rewarding. He is in Third grade, and I am not too sure how he got there. He is my biggest challenge, he is constantly talking in school, forgetting everything, not doing his homework, and we are constantly having to go back to the dorm for him. But hopefully he will get the hang of it. On a good note he did finally understand his multiplication facts after me working with him for an hour.

In celebration of Elizabeth´s Birthday we had cake and Coke for the kids and let them stay up a little late to watch a movie. They thoroughly enjoyed it, and it was worth it, even though it took them 30 minutes to fall asleep. The more time I spend here in Mexico the less I miss home. Even though I was sick, I still loved every minute of being here with my boys. Each day I learn more and more about myself and these kids. I do not consider this my job, I just believe it is apart of my everyday life. These kids are absolutely wonderful, and they are changing my life, one day at a time.
