Getting Settled

Last week was my first week of Spanish classes.  I have the same teacher that I had earlier in the summer, which is nice because she knows where I'm at.  There are about 12 other students, some from the US, some from Brazil, and some from Germany.  It's pretty interesting to hear the other accents.  And it's really difficult to understand them.  But it's fun.  And tomorrow I have my first horse back riding lesson!  I'm pretty excited about it.  And I don't think I'll be volunteering with the Daughter's of St. Paul anymore.  Communication has been rather difficult.  But my mother in law showed me another place I can volunteer at.  There is an orphanage about 10 minutes away that is in need of volunteers.  I went there last week and I think I'll start later this week or next week.  I'll be able to volunteer for a few hours in the morning before class and then go to class from there.  I'll mostly just be taking care of babies.

Pancho is doing well.  He's working on a part time job for the government right now and waiting to hear back from the other places that he's interviewed at.  We're pretty happy about starting to have a scheduled and settled life. 

No pictures today, but hopefully the next time that I write!
