Christmas Program
The International School elementary school has been taken over by Christmas program preparations! We have been practicing the songs in our classrooms for weeks and we have spend half of 5 days practicing at the church where the performance will be. Although it is a lot of work, it is an important part of the school year because it allows the students and their parents to hear the Christmas story.
It is strange to be here during Christmas season because it is so warm. It just seems sort of wrong to see Christmas lights on houses without snow, but we will soon be able to experience the Michigan winter! Just 10 more days!

Jared's Birthday
On Tuesday Jared's class surprised him with a birthday party complete with cake, ice cream, a pinata, sandwiches, chips, and pop. They even invited me! They were so excited that they basically gave it all away to Jared, but he did a good job pretending to be surprised.
On Wednesday, his actual birthday, we celebrated by going out for Chinese with some friends. They we came back to our house for cake and ice cream.

Thanksgiving
On Saturday we celebrated Thanksgiving with the staff (Honduran and North American) at our school. We all brought a dish to share and the superintendent provided the turkeys. It was delicious and a lot of fun, but it made us miss Thanksgiving at home. Afterwards we played some intense volleyball with some of the other teachers.

Lago de Yajoa
This is us infront of the waterfall.
This weekend we went on the teacher retreat to the Lago de Yojoa, a lake about three hours from Tegucigalpa. We had a great time relaxing and enjoying the cool weather. Despite the cold temperatures, we still went to Pulapansak, a waterfall close to the lake. We went swimming in the river, went behind the waterfall into a small cave, and jumped off rocks into the river. It was all very exciting, especially going behind the waterfall. It involved wading through rushing water while water was constantly spraying in our faces. We could hardly see or breathe! Somehow we made it out alive.

Fiesta Catracha
On Friday our school had a Fiesta Catracha. Catracha is the word Hondurans use when talking about themselves as a country. There was Honduran dancing, food, and booths set up about the different departments of Honduras. Even though it rained the whole time, it was fun to see our students dressed up in their traditional Honduran clothing.
Some of the kindergarten students performed a dance.
Here I am with one of my students.

Independence Day Break
Tomorrow starts our Independence Day Break. We have Thursday and Friday both off for the holiday. Susan and I are planning on going to the North Coast with another couple from school to enjoy our time off. This will be our first trip out of Tegus, and we are looking forward to seeing some more of the Honduran country side. Hopefully we will have some pictures to share with you on Monday. Please pray that we have a safe vacation and that our travels are successful.
