Great Grades in Literacy Class

This week was the written exam for Literacy Class. I was completely and totally shocked at how well the students did. I was thinking they needed an extra week to study, but it turns out they know a lot more than they let on.

One student I thought would fail only missed one point, and that was because he put an extra "n" in "mano" (hand). Four of the 7 got 100% and the other two only missed one. Doña Francisca was able to do two of the three pages, which for her was great success. I didn't expect her to do any.

After the class I laid out clothes that Fany donated and everyone got to choose four pieces of clothing. They were super psyched!

Who got 100%? (Plus one more who went home sick.)

They asked if I want a turkey
This is not what I expected

This hat cracked me up
It's made of shiny material that feels like CDs

Finally got a smile out of Noemy's husband!

It's a Go for Literacy

I've got 15 minutes until literacy class. It's overcast, looks like rain. But we won't melt. (Although everyone will have a fit because I have a cold and in Honduras you are NEVER supposed to get wet if you have a cold.)

I am extra excited today because Fany gave me TONS of clothes of all sizes for my students and their families. The little boy who runs around with only a shirt will now have a pair of pants! We'll see if he wears them.

Yesterday as security gave me a ride home from my club they asked if I am going to the literacy class this week. I told them the whole story of how I had cancelled the class to go to the doctor, which was odd because I never go to the doctor and at first the doctor couldn't find anything wrong, but later it turned out that I would have been in the middle of a gang war if we had gone.

After listening to the whole story the driver thought for a second. Then he asked, "So are we going tomorrow?"

I said, "Yes. So far it's a go. God hasn't told me anything different yet, but I'll let you know if He does."

We all laughed.
