Things are good at the home. The girl I spent the night with at the hospital last Saturday has some more tests and she has a stomach acid problem. We will continue to work on this. She is taking some acid reducer and an antibiotic and is on a very restricted diet!
I have a new cat friend (Luna walked away on day about a month ago and didn't come back) and a new car! The cat is Fire Cat and is wonderfully soft and affectionate. The car is a Kia Picanto - a small silver hatch back with power steering and automatic shift which is makeing my left knee better with no clutch and the power steering is easier on the shoulders.
Last Sunday was the anniversary of my 10th year here as a missionary. I didn't get to church to be blessed as I spent until 2AM at Children's Hospital with one of the girls - a fitting way to celebrate 10 years!
There was little school last week as Wednesday was the celebration of the founding of Panama City in 1519. After helping a lot of Primary students learn about this event I will not forget that Panama means an abundance of fich, butterflies and the Panama Tree!
Saturday moring was the last Saturday of Social Service work from girls at LaSalle High School (Colegio La Salle) and they had a moring of games, dances and more games. The game 'pull up the yuca' in which a girl grabs a post and holds on very tight and then others form a line behind her and try to break her hold on the poll. Evelia (oe of our 5 year olds) loved it. Karla (the other 5 year old) wisely stayed on the sidelines most of the time. Yuca is a root vegtable and is hard to pull up! It is what tapioca is made from.
Rosa is learning to read along with three others beginning readers!!!! Among them the teachers are using 3 different methods of teaching so that they all need a different kind of help!
Blessings, Tia Sue
