So Much To Do!

What a whirlwind!  We have had a lifetime of experiences in the last 5 days!  For starters, practically no one speaks English.  It is fun trying to communicate without words; it's like charades, only you are never quite sure if the person you are playing with has gotten the answer right.
We have spent about half of our time in the last week working at the school: Setting up classrooms, learning how to create lesson plans, and participating in teacher orientation.  These are all things we've never done before.
The other half of the time, we have been figuring out the intricacies of the community and apartment we live in.  Things like:
- There is not much packaging difference between butter and cream cheese
- Don't shut the door too hard in your Uber
- Everyone has the right to be at the front of the line (especially when driving)
- For our hot water to work in our kitchen, we have to turn on the bathroom sink
- The bakery across the street almost always has warm bread...for about 30 cents a loaf
- The people are very kind and are drawn to our kids cheeks
- And SO MUCH MORE!

So much to be thankful for...so much to do!
