Well, summer break has come to an end and we are getting
back into the grind of school and Colombian life. The morning following our
arrival we attended teacher orientation for the next three days, had a school
picnic where we met students and parents, and then came the first days of
school!
Previously, we had written that Marlayna would be teaching
Biology to 10th graders, but as we have come to learn at this
school, things are not always as they seem. Upon returning, Marlayna was asked
to teach health to the 9th graders rather than teach Biology. The
reason for the switch was for a more conducive schedule for Marlayna to be with
Elleazah and a lighter work load. We agreed and willingly accepted the switch. We
have learned to be flexible at this school.
Our first available Saturday, we went large park here in the
city. Though we have been to this park before, we decided to take a different bus system to
get there, one that was supposed to be easier… and it was! We are always
encouraged when we successfully navigate the public bus system without any
problems, especially when it is a new route to us. We had a wonderful day at the park, lots of sun and lots of fun!
Elleazah loved the different parks to play on! There were so many stairs for her to climb, many slides to go down, and a bunch of different swings to choose to ride!
We praise God for a successful first week and a half back
and a fairly easy transition back to life in Bogota!
