I´m going to mention illegal drugs in this blog

Its new post time.  Here´s the low down.  I´ve been really busy this trip, but not so much with interesting stories.  I have stories from earlier this year that a childrens´ fiction book writer couldn´t make up.... if he was on acid.  This year has been equally as exciting for me, but not as many awesome stories for the blog.  I´m going to give you what I got though.

So, the plans for the new school are going swell.  I made it out to Comayagua last week to check out Enlaces, the school of which we want to be a satellite campus.  Honestly, I haven´t seen a school in Honduras yet that I was impressed with.  Enlaces really impressed me.  It was organized and structured from the big picture situations down to the detailed specifics.  They´re program really impressed me with how simple and effective the lessons seemed.  I liked it.  We´re really looking towards getting legal work and planning together for January.  Be in prayer for us.  I´d love it if our school gave a better education to our girls and could minister to our community with the love and the message of Christ.  I hope thats where we´re headed.

Another cool thing from my trip to Comayagua is that I´m more away of how awesome the English is at the farm.  Our girls really speak it well.  At the school in Comayagua, I met students who had been studying English for hours and hours every day for years and years, right?  They did a great job, but their English wasn´t as good as some of my girls.  In fact, some of my girls at PTC speak better English than their teachers.  I don´t say this to slam the teachers or students.  They did a great job.  I´m just excited for my girls that they´re getting such a useful skill at the Farm.  I try to explain to them sometimes how much easier getting a job will be if you´re bilingual, but I´m not sure they believe me.  I´m right though.  I´m always right.

Well, thats about it.  I´ve been on the internet sparringly in the last few weeks.  I need to spend a little time today looking up biographies on Jose Trinidad Reyes, Cecillia del Valle, and Trinidad Cabanaz.  Oh, you don´t know those people?  Me neither.  But I will before I teach history on Monday.  Pray for us, we need it.
