Monsey continues to go poo under the swing set, so by the time she comes to class she is stinky. Not sure how to change that. Belinda said we need to keep our eye on her, but since she continuously does it underneath the slide where we can't see her I am not sure how too stop it.
I was cleaning out the office this afternoon when Lorenzo came to ask me to teach his class. Now everyone wants to be a part of the class AND Lorenzo comes to the Breakfast Program every single day instead of about 50% of the time. He needs the nutrition, mentally and physically. Today he was able to identify every letter I gave him. Usually he can't. He was also able to write short words. The only time he struggled was when I asked him to tell me the individual sounds of letters. It seems like there is some sort of learning disorder because normally he cannot identify letters. But I love that some days he can!
I wanted to give him a little treat as he left. On Saturday when we had the Sarmiento's going away party the box of crackers I bought for him were on my desk. Today the whole box of Ritz peanut butter crackers were gone. :(
Belinda and I spent the afternoon cleaning out the office. When I met with Jairo last week he told me that he wants me to have an office at the church. I never made an office space for myself before because I didn't want people to think I was barging in and taking over the place. In the beginning I used the office a lot. Now that I have my own car and can leave the church when I am done, I don't use the office as much. But it will be nice to have my own cute little space with cabinets that I can lock. I don't have much to decorate it right now. I'm looking around my house to see what I have that could make it my own.
I like cleaning with Belinda. She throws things out like I do. Ethel, the leader of the elders, came in while we were cleaning. Ethel went through some things and told us to throw it all away too. Yay! Now I feel like I can get rid of stuff and really be more organized. I am going to do the same in the classroom now that I don't have people telling me to keep half broken toys.
Tomorrow I am going to a meeting with Belinda and some of the youth. On Sunday Jairo asked me to take his carful of people to church. I am getting a taste of what it will be like when he is not here. Nine more days til they move to the states. I gave a letter to Ethel today asking for more responsibilities at the church.
