Graduation

For our "graduation", level 4 class decided we would like to have the Taquisa come to the school and we would have our graduation there. The Taquisa is this group of people that you hire for events. They will go wherever you want them to, and it's like $50 (pesos), which is like $5 US, per person, and it's all you can eat! We were very excited about this, and we decided to do graduation on Monday, October 11 (the same day as Peter Piper Pizza), since that week was just quizes and final exams. So, we showed up on Monday, took tests and quizes and then everyone (all students and teachers and thier families) waited around for the Tacisa to come. They were supposed to arrive around noon and we would begin eating around 1 pm. However, they never showed..apparantly there was some mix-up over confirmation. So, we ordered pizza instead.

Regardless of what we ate, it was a lot of fun just hanging out with everyone. Level 4 (minus me) played a new board game taught to us by Jen and Sandra. It's called Settlers, and it's a fun game! If you can find it in stores, then you should check it out! Others played Killer UNO or Dutch Blitz. I spent most of my time socializing with the teachers, and Erika and I took a trip to an English bookstore near the school, where I bought her birthday present and a journal for Mili who really needed a good journal. There was also much goofing off with cameras and such. Despite the mix-up with the food, it was a wonderful time of fellowship and fun and laughter! Enjoy the pics!

Level 4 playing Settlers
We had so much fun playing games that those who are still in Guad have started a game night! How fun!!

Angeles and Pastor Moi had a good time too! And their families joined us as well, so it was party-time all around!

Sally and Caleb, Pastor Moi's oldest...they are a couple of goofballs! I promise!

Moillito (which means little Moi, since he has the same name as his dad) is Pastor Moi's second oldest. He's also a goofball, and both he and Caleb are quite talented musicians!

This is Jackie...she graduated the session before mine, but stuck around to help out with the school. And help she did! She was WONDERFUL! A true example of a servant's heart! Thanks for everything Jackie!

Even the babies were having a good time being monkeys under the tables!

Oh the locas (that is crazy in the feminine)!

What can I say? Friends....there's nothing like good friends!
