Last weekend was great- except for the minor accident. On Friday night JCS had a movie night and showed Princess Bride. We helped make and sell popcorn, and had fun as the students watched the movie for the first time. On Saturday we had a soccer tournament between 3 teams. We helped sell food, once again, and had fun being with the students but not being disciplinarians. We took some time during when the other two schools were playing to run some errands. I was driving back to the school on the pesola (Daniel was in the back) when I took a turn a little too quickly onto a wet patch. Our front tire was bald and the pesola slipped out from underneath me and I scrapped my leg against the pavement. It caused a large (but suface) cut. We bandaged it up at the school and watched the rest of the tournament. JCS won! Yay! My wound is doing much better, but there's some bruising on the muscle that makes it hurt to walk far or stand on for a long time.
On Sunday after church we went to play in the River (the cold water felt good on my cut). Then we went to a moving sale of some Americans who were moving back to the States. We found a lot of things that we have been waiting to buy (a small computer desk, mirrors, some cooking things, shelves, etc.) It was truly a blessing.
The rest of this week has been good but busy. Right now Daniel is hiking with Steve Chase (another teacher at JCS) while I am at the Chase's house with Erin. I would have gone, but alas, my leg would not have been happy.
We're slowly adjusting to life here and are enjoying it. Next weekend we are going on a day trip to the beach and Santiago. Yay!
We took some pictures of our house and will send them when we have our computer hooked up to someone's internet.
Love you all! Thanks for all your prayers!
