Day 32 (thanksgiving)

Strike:

No positive news today but I am taking the kids tomorrow for their TB test.

Today:

The kids had their last English lessons today in Bogotá with a hired teacher.   I will assume the duties of teaching them English from this point on.  B is really doing well on his English.  He really shows a strong interest in the subject of science but mostly in the planets.

Tonight we went to John and Michael's for thanks giving dinner.  All I have to say is thank you to John and Michael because it was really meant the world to all three of us for inviting us over for dinner, a little football on TV, and we played catch with a football in front of their apartment.  Not only did I really feel welcome but so did the kids.  L really was blooming because she was able to talk to other women (there were about 10 of us in their apartment) and I really saw her smile all night long.  B had a great time because he was talking to everyone about and writing about things he learned in science.  Also B wrote his numbers from 1-100 in English for everyone to see.  Also, B had his first chance to touch a football.  I will never forget where he touched and caught his first football.  It was a special moment for me and possibly him.  Once again, I felt very welcome.  I feel blessed having such great friends.
