Hello! I hope you all are doing fantabulously well over there! Down here, we sure have been keeping busy…learning so much every day, gracias a Dios! Here’s an example of “a day in the life”...
p.s. Keep in mind that the schedule is different every day, so below, when I say “sometimes/some days”…that’s what I’m referring to J
5:16am - My alarm goes off
5:16-5:34am - I snooze and take in my last precious moments of sleep
6:00am - Morning prayer in the church with Father O’Hare, Kenzie, China, and Louisa
6:30-7:00ish - Silent morning prayer on our own
7:00am - Mass
8:00am - Breakfast at home. Dani usually runs around like a wild child as little Nestor observes like a goober
8:30am - Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays Kenzie and I teach English class. I teach 2nd and 3rd grade – We just finished with “head, shoulders, knees, and toes”! Other days we teach Catechism class…

11am - Some days I teach piano lessons, some days I have a break (unless kids come around to play…)
12:30pm - Lunch – sometimes with our “team”, sometimes houses in the different campos
3pm – it usually rains :)
2-7pm – Some days Las Magdalenas (a high school girls Bible study we lead), some days Spanish class, some days teaching Catechism, sometimes planning for our activities, sometimes reading groups in the libe, sometimes playing cards, dominoes, sports, crafts, ect. with the local kids

9:30-10pm Night prayer and then… bed!
*Saturdays we have Mass, Teresitas (Bible study for younger girls), sometimes go to the river to cool off, sometimes have reading groups at the library with our students, then at night we show a movie each week in different campos
*Sundays we have Mass in three different campos and two different groups of Magdalenas, and then we host family from the community for dinner
