Hmm...where do I start. Well, I could tell that you were all praying that we would raise lots of food for our food drive. We raised enough so that every child's family in the school we visited got a bag of food. Here are some pictures of us delivering the food on Wednesday. I was so worried about how the kids would behave and getting them their safely, but everything went really well.





Here is all of our first graders at the school we took the food to. It was really great for the kids to see the poverty that is just down the road from us. Now every morning when I ask for prayer requests they always ask to pray for the kids and the school. How wonderful!















I promised my kids that if every one of them brought in food, they could have a party...and the little stinkers did it. So later that afternoon I took them out for an extra recess. Then I played "Charlie Brown's Thanksgiving" for them and gave them brownies. They loved it! I think they enjoyed the movie almost as much as me.






































Ha, this was our silly face pictures. They really shouldn't let me have this job!




























On Thursday I went to see the Águilas, Santiago's Major league team. One of the mom's from school invited us. What I didn't know was that her dad owns the team, ha. We had amazing seats and they kept showing us on the score board. The fans are much more enthusiastic here! It was so much fun!















































Today was Family Day at school. It was a little sad because it rained all day. It would have been way better if it wasn't raining. We still had fun though! Here is a picture of some other teachers and I watching a middle school dodge ball competition. It wasn't the best place to sit. We kept getting hit!
























It was a freezing 70 degrees today! I loved it! I am actually using my quilt at night now. It gets a little chilly sometimes now. Look how great it looks on my bed!



















Well I probably won't have time to post again until after Thanksgiving. I am sure I will have lots of fun pictures to show you. We are having a thanksgiving feast at school on Wednesday. Then I am going to the beach with my roommate and her family. They are going to teach me how to surf. Ha, surfing for Thanksgiving, crazy! I hope you all have a great holiday! I will be home for the next one! Only 28 days! I have some big decisions to make about next year, so you can be praying that I will follow God's will and hear him clearly. Love you all :)
