Great Day

We had a good and productive day. The day started out with our showers getting fixed - that is a praise. Our sweeper friend came and swept out or courtyard and told us when the trash goes out - another huge praise. The trash is an interesting thing - you can't put it out before the "truck" - which is a tractor pulling a wagon bin - or the kids will go through it. So you have to hear it and then put it out - but he told us when it will come so we can listen for it. We also had a language lesson until our brains were about to explode. Ron and I have separate lessons and then we have a lesson as a family with a different tutor with the kids.

The kids had a great time playing on our street in front of our house - football. The boys know French, because that is what is taught at the schools. So the boy in the white shirt is very fluent in French and some English as well. Faith played with some girls and then they colored in our courtyard on our patio. All in all we had a great day. We have another busy day of language tomorrow - pray that our brains will absorb it all.


This girl is also very good in French and very sweet - she is my favorite!!
This is on our patio in our courtyard - which is very pretty. Will take some pictures of that tomorrow.
