Week One in the Books


I finished my first week of teaching today and I have to say it went rather swimmingly. Next week I will be teaching Tobi and Ben along with Peter, but to start, it was nice only having the one student to concentrate on and to get the teacher juices flowing. This weekend will include lots of prep (much more than last weekend) but I am up for the challenge and am excited to get to know the boys.

A couple updates on new experiences. Jarle the pilot was bringing a patient back to her home and said that there was room for me to come along. I enjoy riding in the small plane so I went along. Long story short, on our way back to Ahuas, he let me fly the plane for a while! A little scary when we went near a cloud and had some turbulence, but other than that it went great.

One other new experience: doing laundry by hand. I have a couple scraped up knuckles and some not-so-white whites to prove it. Not nearly exciting as flying a plane but still a new experience.
