¡Mucha lluvia!

Mmhmm. Rain on the tin roof. Yep. It's been going on all day. Ha, but we've made the best of it! It's supposed to rain a ton this winter so I'm bracing myself for it; supposedly more than last year and I thought it was a ton last year. So Mom, I guess you may need to bring my rain jacket!
We started off this morning going to La Amistad. Fide woke me up at 6:55 beckoning that it was already 10 after 7 and I was late for school. Quite the drill sergant. But boy, were we early to school and ready to go. Today was a super chill day at school, because like I said it was raining, which of course means the bus doesn't run. Ha, I don't understand either. So we only had like 20 kids today, but that was both of the special needs classes together. Mo and I both worked with some kids separately on "rompecabezas/puzzles" and these were not easy puzzles. They were 300-500 pieces each. Crazy I know. After a few hours of intense puzzling, we headed back to the team house for lunch.
We went back after lunch to La Amistad to help some of the teachers prepare for the celebration tomorrow for mothers day. I think it's so great that they have celebrations at every school here in Matagalpa for Mothers day. And school is closed friday. I guess it's like an extra mothers day gift! I think you teachers would agree. After helping at the school for a couple hours we headed back to the team house and chilled for a while. So nice to just have time to hang out and play the guitar. Raf keeps asking how my guitar classes are going. He thinks he's witty. Dinner was great since Mo and I got to help make it. Oh and I learned how to make fresh coffee today! No, I know how to use a coffeepot. I'm talking about coffee from the stovetop. So good. Debra, the owner of the coffee plantation, came over tonight and we spent time with her having dinner and playing UNO afterwards. So much fun. We were going to watch a movie after, but time got away from us. So now, I'm about to go enjoy falling asleep to this rain since we have to be up early again to help with the Mothers Day celebration. ¡Felicidades a todos las madres!
Love you all,
sb
