Gracias and La Union

Well I am officially back in La Union. I am not going to lie it really feels good. We have been finishing up the decorations for the classrooms and getting ready for the orientation that is going to take place tomorrow. I have moved into a very nice house and all is well. Last weekend I was in Gracias we finally had all of the teachers from the states who are going to teach in Gracias arrive. I would like to say it went perfectly once they got there but it didn't quite go according to plan. At a few points I was more frustrated then I had ever been here in Honduras. With both teachers and administration but I guess that is bound to happen eventually. I think for a teacher or two the realization that this isn't a vacation and this is actually a job kind of hit them hard and for the administration they had to realize Americans have different needs then Hondurans. However, from what I can tell things are getting to normal there and hopefully it will stay that way. I have orientation with parents that I am supposed to do in Spanish tomorrow so that should be interesting but it will be good practice. I also have to go to Gracias again on Saturday to pick up a few new teachers from Great Britain as well on Saturday. Life doesn't cease to be busy here. I think its time for dinner. Adios y'all

A New Year

Well I am officially back in Honduras so I thought I would take the time to update. A quick catch up the day I left from Honduras was the day the "coup" happened here. The reason I put it in quotation marks is because it is a debated topic whether it was actually a coup or not. However, I was able to spend my summer at home with my parents and just doing a crazy amount of fishing. It was a good summer but I was ready to get back. I had a rocky flight back after missing my first flight due to a miscommunication from the airline so three connections later and 12 hours I was on the ground in Tegus with no luggage and very few clothes but I was here. As you drive around the city there is graffiti all over saying things like "golpista" or "fuera" then a name telling people they don't like who caused the coup to get out of the city. I have seen many demonstrations as I drove around but have seen no real violence other then a little on television. According to my principal today we are starting school on Wednesday I don't really think this is realistic as I most likely won't be there till Tuesday. However, we shall see. Hopefully this whole sponsorship deal with our students is going to work out alright as there is still some things to work out but Lord willing all will work. There is so much going on but right now I kinda feel helpless to do much about it. I kinda just have to wait it out. I will try to continue to update with more stories and ideas. God Bless
