The high school choir is coming along! They are close to memorizing two songs and polishing two others. It's exciting to see them understand the music and interesting to learn about teaching high school anything. A couple weeks ago I had a group of girls for sectionals, that was an experience. I don't often get the chance to touch a piano, so that made it even better! Tuesday there was a huge soccer game in San Pedro Sula. I didn't have to be watching to recognize the moment that Honduras won as fireworks went off for 30 minutes in Tegus. Honduras beat Jamaica to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Rio de Janeiro.
By Wednesday I was scrambling to have several weeks worth of lesson plans. This way my assistant could have all the materials prepared for the substitute. Kelsey and I finally started with a Spanish tutor. This was a much needed start! His name is Victor and he used to teach Spanish to the Peace Corp when they were stationed in Honduras. Salsa lessons are going slowly, mainly because we are a class of horrible dancers...but we are trying! I never understand what is going on though because all the instruction is in Spanish, so I nod my head and pretend like I am learning something. Also, I was quite proud of myself for getting new tires put on my vehicle! The mechanics looked at me like I was crazy as I carefully watched what they were doing, like I had any idea what was going on.

Friday was a colors days which means the students can wear whatever they want instead of their uniforms. They are so cute in colorful dresses and their favorite shirts! It was also Dallas' 20th birthday! After school, we left for the long weekend!!
