Ohio Team Arrives

This week there is a team visiting from Ohio.  Sometimes it feels really nice to be around North Americans.  This is one of those times.  They are a small team of eight.  The pastor and one couple have been here before so they remember a lot of the kids by name.  The group seems to be easy going and happy to be here.  I think they enjoyed their first day.  I sure did!

Got a new car battery and my air filter replaced.  I also have to get a chip in my windshield filled before the hot weather comes back and cracks the whole thing, my mechanic recommended.  He is keeping an eye out for a reputable brand of tires to go on sale.  I am grateful to have a good mechanic.

Tomorrow we will go to the pool and then back to the Breakfast Program to join in with the group from North America.  I look forward to getting to know them better and to helping them get to know the kids.

I skipped the gym today.  My legs and thighs are getting so muscular that my pants are too tight.  I have to figure out a way to work out that doesn't build muscle.  In the meantime, Marcela and I went for a nice walk.  It was a sunny afternoon and the roads were less muddy than they have been in over a month.  It is still raining every day, but not for such long durations.  I am hoping this is then end of the rainy season.  Until June comes around again.
