Hey yáll. just finished my last week in Las Delicias! It was a lot of fun, but also really sad. they dont celebrate thanksgiving here, but we had a baile for the adult class and my dance group. It was so much fun! everyone ended up drawing on my face and shirt with markers, but i have a nice little recuerdo now... and lots of good pictures. i made fettuchini alfredo for my family on friday. they loved it!!! my mom was lilke "its good hot or cold!!! and even when i heat it up again...its still good!!" so i gave them the recipe for that so they were really excited. my job title changed from teacher to painter this week. i spent all week painting the verjas, and then all weekend painting the classrooms. lots of work-but we got everything done and the school looks great! saturday we also had a surprise wedding shower for my sister. it was sooo much fun! she was so surprised she cried!! we played a lot of fun games and it was really cool. monday was tie-dye day at school! it started out with a couple bumps. a lot of kids didnt understand that we said bring a white t shirt not wear a white t shirt, and some of them forgot completely. but once everyone calmed down and just sat still for 2 seconds for me to explain stuff to them- everythinhg worked out fine. we did tie-dye and face paint. i was in charge of tie-dye, and henry did face paint. the kids had such a good time! it was a really nice like goodbye last day thing. monday night i packed..i hate packing! but i got it done, and i somehow have more stuff now than when i came here. i was like-that wasnt supposed to happen! i also gave my family presents on monday night. mets and yankees stuff. they loved it! they all thought it was really cool. even though i didnt have the wiffle ball bats, i still had the balls-so i tought my bother the basic idea of the curveball. i caught him practing later on in the night. then we took a lot of pictures of the family. they also gave me a present- a little fish figurine statue thing. its really cute. ive aquired a lot of those since ive been here-little figurines and stuff. recuerdos. tuesday morning i woke up early to say goodbye to my sister before she went to school. it was really sad, especially becuz she was my fave sister. then i just chilled with my family until my ride came. it was really sad to say goodbye to them. we all cried. after leaving my house, we went down to the school to give the extra projevct money to the teachers as a donation. they also gave us some little gifts. when we gave the money to the kinder teacher, noria, she started crying n we didnt know what was wrong. then she told us that she had been praying for months that they could get money to fix the floors in her classroom. she said she was so happy cuz this was her first response from god. it was really sweet. then all the kindergarteners jumped on me and said ¨dont go! dont go!" we finally left school and went down to the bottom of the mtn where the rest of our group was waiting with thier families. when we said goodbye everyone was balling, it was really sad to watch. i was glad i had said goodbye to my family at my house. we finally pulled away and now we are here back in san isidro for the night. tommoro we leave on the earliest bus to go to Palmar Norte. frome there we take a boat to the hotel were staying in on the Osa Peninsula. we stay there for 3 days, then we got to Uvita-another beach a bit farther north. 2 days there, and then its off to san jose. we spend the afternoon and night chiilin and shopping, then we go white water rafting all day tuesday. then we have our final dinner n celbration together. then the next morning were on our way to USA! im really excited. only a week left!! cant believe it! i love you all n have a fun week and ill see you in a week!!!
