A Little Summer Update

August finds me sending fundraising letters, preparing for this weekend's fundraiser yardsale and of course spending as much time with friends and family as possible during my time in the states! My plane ticket was just purchased a few hours ago and I will be returning to Honduras on August 20th. We start the year with two weeks of orientation for the teachers and classes begin the first week of September. I haven't yet written about one of my neatest Honduran experiences....planning and hosting my family's first visit! Their first week was spent helping out at the ministry in whatever way possible. The majority of their time was spent helping me clean my classrooms and pack materials. Thirty of my kindergarten students graduated during this week and my parents were able to represent all the sponsor/padrinos from the states during the ceremony. We were also excited to attend the Destino del Reino School's first ever sixth grade graduation!
