We got safely to central america via Guatamala and bussed it through El Salvador.it was quicker and interesting to see volcanos!!Good to be back in Valle and to see the kids.Hamish is back building..I am teaching the kids in morning then helping with taking kids to football field each afternoon and general washing and playing with children..then I do music in the evening.Life is full…not always easy..it can be very draining..but we are glad to be here.Went to a church that has an english service..we are basing ourselves there whilst here it is great full of people involved in such diverse things..and very supportive..we feel very looked after there.The church is huge..they have 6 services in in spanish on a sunday and one on a saturday..which the pastor said is a small meeting of about 600people!!..amazing place..!its great for us to be with english speakers for a while..and the kids enjoy it.Our Spanish is continually frustrating we get by but having a conversation about deeper things is difficult..I study each night to keep improving my vocab..but its like the more you know the more you realise how much more there is to learn..the kids are speaking well now!I enjoyed riding a horse bareback round the finca its a real horsey place..everywhere there are people riding..it was lovely..the kids rode too.It was the national day of the child yesterday and the kids had special people come with cake pinatas and gifts it was a happy day.Before I go..we have just heard that a catagory 5 hurricane is due to hit La Ceiba in Honduras in the next 24 hours..the country is bracing itself for floods….I dont believe it!!please pray all will be well..it is so devastating in a poor country…pray the damage will be minimaland it wont be another Mitcth.Our mexican freinds and workers are currently travelling there and onto belize by boat!please pray they will be out of harms way.Thats all for now!take care all who read this..all our love Rachel and Hamish.
