Hola!!!
A few updates for all of you. 🙂 We are starting to feel at HOME here!!! We are making connections, building friendships, and getting to know our neighbours and staff. Our boys have been doing an amazing job here. They are so brave, so compassionate, so aware. We are so proud of them.
This week Matt and I have had the opportunity to participate in New Staff Training ON campus at Doulos!!! This has been an incredible blessing, as we’ve been able to get our minds wrapped around our positions, our school setting, and our mission. We’ve learned about the history, the vision, and the values of Doulos. We’ve learned about our philosophy of education, our mission statement, and our common expeditions at Doulos. We definitely feel like a part of the team already.
Our kids have been staying with Nanny Angi, who is the most beautiful human. She has two kids of her own, and has brought them along to build relationships with our boys. They’ve adopted us as their own. The boys are being stretched as they train their ears to hear a new language.
Next week we participate in All Staff Training, but because many staff are returning from holidays in a variety of places, all staff training will take place online while everyone quarantines. The next two weeks we will be at home, online, while parenting. We will let you know how that goes! 😛 Angi will definitely come over to play with our kids and help us out. 🙂
We have currently been placed under another state of emergency for another 45 days. This means we have 7pm curfews (5pm on weekends), and all rivers and beaches are closed. Our start of school is still to be decided, and we will know more when our new president begins.
I feel like not even a book could include everything we have learned, grown in, and experienced!!! Thank you for all your prayers and support. Please don’t hesitate to email, text, FaceTime, or check in anytime. Love and hugs, Lisa.
