news 4 yous.

Some good news i've been meaning to share:

I have a new student, which now brings my grand total up to 13 students. His name is Daniel and he is truly the tiniest thing you'll ever see. My students are 3 and mostly 4 years old, but I am convinced that Daniel is 2. Really. Jokes aside, this child is so miniature! Throughout his entire first day of school, I couldn't maintain composure because of how strongly he resembles an ewok. It's true! I'll take a photograph!

I picked up a second job. I have been volunteering for World Vision on and off since November. For those who don't know, World Vision is one of the largest international relief and development organizations, operating in more than 90 countries worldwide. They have an office here in Gracias that is quite understaffed. They had me doing some office work and a little bit of document translating here and there. Well, in December, I took an exam to see if i could qualify as an official translator. It was, hands down, the hardest exam I've ever taken. After almost two months of waiting, the results are finally in and I passed the exam. World Vision is now paying me to translate sponsorship letters between local Honduran children and their Sponsors. The pay really isn't anything worth writing home about, but I'm just thrilled to be helping out, doing something worthwhile with all my free time, and gaining valuable experience from such a reputable organization.


I have visitors coming! Chad will be here from March 18-April 5. As if i couldn't be any more spoiled, my mom and my youngest brother, Max, will be spending their spring break here from April 2-10.


Also, I planted lots of flowers in my yard! This place is looking like a palace! Mama would be proud. Look at me go!


These are all things that make me happy.

Wheeeee!
