Three Weeks until Semana Santa!

If you are wondering what Semana Santa is, it is just Spring Break. Ours here is the week before Easter, and we are planning a very relaxing trip. It should be fun! We have three weeks to go, and we are all counting down! I don't think I realized how much teachers like the breaks too when I was growing up. I had this idea that they loved going to school! HA! I like to go to school, but I LOVE my days off! And, it is not only me-that goes for every teacher here!

I was out today due to stomach issues early this morning. I really thought that I was getting another stomach bug, but this one did not turn into that. I managed to sleep almost all day today, and that helped. I will be going back tomorrow! Polo really enjoyed me being at home today-he slept next to me the whole time! :)

Last week, a tragedy happened to a teacher here at the school. She was just hired about 2 and a half weeks before, so not many people knew her-she was Honduran, so none of the American teachers could talk to her if they didn't know Spanish. She was brutally murdered, along with her husband, last Wednesday morning. Their 12 year old daughter survived without much physical harm. It seems that the family had a 15 year old adopted son who had a terrible anger problem. We can't fully know all the details, but he killed his parents after an explosion. I know there were other deaths involved, one or two of the mom's brothers, I think. So, please remember the Nolasco family in your prayers.

We hope you have a wonderful week!
