Terry se fue ayer y ya se extrano!



Poor guy, I really think he had a miserable time here. For him, I'm glad he is home where he is comfortable. If I ever return to Mexico it will
be for a shorter period of time so he doesn't feel like he needs to come along and we won't miss each other so much. I may want to come here again some time for individual classes and for a brush up if I don't have enough opportunity to
speak spanish in Oregon.

I haven't uploaded all of the pictures from when he was here. I avoided taking his picture for the first few days since he was so ill. But, there are a couple of cute ones. We didn't do a whole lot, just
rested, took care of him. We went to a few museums and I showed him downtown. We didn't
get to go to the pyramids here because it is much cheaper to go with a tour because of the distance and the tour is only offered on Sundays, he wasn't here during the afternoon on any Sunday so it just didn't work out, probably just as well since the tour is in Spanish and quick
Spanish at that! Would have been difficult for me to translate! There is a picture here of him
reading the Spanish/English dictionary I brought with me. He actually did very well in some
circumstances. It was fun to watch him try. He really is a good sport, but I know it was difficult
for him. All in all it was a true gift to me that he was here and I'm so glad he came. I already miss him sooooo much! It was so nice to read the Bible together every night and to pray together each meal, at night and throughout the day.

He took some great pictures of me and the group. I am posting one of me teaching a small group about colors and shapes. We try to break the kids into smaller groups to teach certain things, it seems to work better that way. Cesia is the one hanging on to me. She is 7 and a real extravert!
Very demonstrative. I adore her. On my other side was Vanessa, she is a new student, and pretty quiet, but obviously intelligent. Cecilia and Jonathan are the other two. Terry caught us
in a good moment, those two fed off of each other and made that class quite challenging.

We started new classes today. I am in an individual grammar class. It was suggested for all of us and I was the only one who wanted it. So, I have a teacher all to myself 3 hours a day four days a week. I think it will be really good for me. The other class is literature de latino america. I think it will be hard but good. I already have a composition due tomorrow. I'm the only one
in my group that has homework already. D'oh!

Love you all, you are all in my thoughts and my prayers.

It was a lot more difficult because I was sick nearly the whole time. Being with you made it all worth while. I'm obviously not the adventurer in the family though--you are!

I love you Pennie! :)
