Goodbyes!

It's been over a week since I updated this and so much has happened! This last weekend Amanda went to the beach and I stayed here to clean the apartment ready so we can start moving in this week. Slightly Cinderella-esque, but someone had to clean it and get going on this moving malarky!

Last night I was awoken by another earthquake, this time only a 5.7 I think...but enough to wake me. I am over being woken up now by things shaking - I like my sleep. This one didn't come in waves but was a back and forward shaking. Looks like this is the way things are going now. Please pray for safety.


Other big news is mainly that school has finished! YAY!! I think I mentioned I am leaving my current school to go and work in the village with Providence World Ministries - working and starting a school in a very poor community and working with orphans. So, last week was the exam week in school - final week with the kids, was a week of goodbyes and fairwell class parties/trips. All good fun. We still have to go into school for 2 weeks - not sure why really as there are no kids and I have finished all my reports ect. Actually I worked my butt off last week to get everything finished because we are moving this week and I needed to get work out of the way! So it's the end now!


Today we had a staff despedida - farewell party. We had it at Prof Edith's daughter's house - oh my!! How the other half live!!! They have a swimming pool in the garden?! Then I spent the evening at Peter and Maileen's house. A lovely day!

This is me between Deb and Nicole (with Brian being creepy in the background). All these guys are leaving.
