...with Knees to the Earth: Lately...

Hello folks...it's been a while I do realize that. First and foremost in the post I would like to put to rest the conversation of "a bushel?" It has been confirmed for me by 7 different people that the lyrics are, in fact, "Hide it under a bushel? no!". Yay!! Some small sense of triumph (and thank you much to a humble Eben who even conceded his own defeat after much googling...) LOL.

Secondly, what has been going on in Merida lately?! A LOT! Perhaps that why I've been lax in my writing and keeping up on this blog lately. Let me see if I can sum up a bit through usage a few pics (blogs just aren't as much fun without them!)

Amanda and I hosted our "last" English club (because the summer project is taking over this charge) and we had a lot of fun playing a big game of jeopardy to review all the things we have taught this year....

Lucia and I have become frequenters of a local pastelito place....maybe too frequent, lol.

Our team took a trip to the Coromoto Ice Cream store that features the most flavors in the world (featured in the Guinness Book of World Records).....including some really weird ones!

We spent hours in the plaza waiting for ....drumroll....the SUMMER PROJECT to get here!! It's true, they are here folks, healthy and whole and in MERIDA. We have a had a lot of fun so far getting to know them and they bring a TON of energy to us old folks who have now been here for over 9 months (wow!!)....They have already seen many students come to Christ as they've been sharing on campus and inviting students to our weekly meeting.....

Amanda turned 25!!

We had a fiesta for the birthday of Amanda and Kelly (one of our students) as well as the arrival of the summer project....They got to learn to dance, Venezuelan style ;)
