The LAST week of Language School!



So this past week Jared and I finished up language school. We went to visit an old cathedral and did several other fun activities with our teachers. We also got to hang out with all of our friends that we have made here in Antigua over the past three months. It was a bitter-sweet ending; we will miss our new friends, but we are ready to move to the children's home.

At dinner the other night, Jared had an accident with his beans. He didn't realize that he had put the sleeve of his jacket in the beans on his plate. It was not until after dinner that he noticed it all over him and the table cloth. I (Joy) fell on the ground laughing when I saw it all over him. I don't know why it was so funny, but it made my night.

N.L.C.H (New Life Children’s Home)



I thought I would share photos of some of the kids:
Jennifer is a close friend
Little Kevin is precious!
Julia! Sweet Girl!

Sorry it has been awhile since I last updated this blog. We have been very busy for the past couple of weeks. We spent 10 days at the Children’s Home from September 17th until the 26th. It was a much-needed break from Spanish school, although we did practice a ton by trying to converse with the kids! During the week we had the opportunity to spend a lot of time with the other staff members and we really got to know each other. After that, we headed back for our last three-week stretch of language school. It has been getting tougher, and we are ready to be at the Children’s Home soon.
