Mi primer trabajo en Honduras


Well not a lot has gone on lately. I have just been putting a lot of time into my spanish studies. I haven´t seen a lot of new things but I got a job now here in Honduras. Yeah I started tutoring a 5th grader here, his name is Fernando (that was my spanish name in 6th grade). He got burned because I think one of their maides was carrying a pot of hot water and he ran into her and it spilled all over his arms and chest. It is a real laid back job I get paid like 50 limpiras an hour (there are 19 limpiras per 1USD). I do my homework and practice my spanish more than help tutor the kid (and play xbox). It is a cool experience, I don´t know if he is a Christian so you can pray for that-- maybe through the time we will spend together in the next 3 weeks here we will get a chance to talk. I didn´t have any cool pictures but here is a picture of a 3 year olds birthday party I went to (I will do anything and go anywhere as long as I get to practice my spanish). Happy birthday Arnold.

I am leaving in the morning to Copán, Honduras for 2 days. I am really excited about that trip. I will post a ton of pictures and thoughts I am sure after Sunday. There is a large section of Mayan ruines located in Copán so I am really excited about that. I have never been anywhere like this before... so it will be cool to have a new experience.

Jacob Schoen-- I am awarding you with the #1 Blogger award.

I wish I could go to the ruins with you! They are so awesome! They discovered a tunnel there about four or five years ago. Saludame a los pajaros.

Jake-- 2nd place? What is the name of your team again? Last time I asked you didn´t know. Macy is going to want to come live with me if your mom keeps doing things like shaving her. Take a picture of her and send it to me. I bet she does look ugly.

Rachael-- well I hope the garbage sale goes good so I can see everyone next weekend. If you guys can come down then we will go to the beach or something fun.
