I survived week 1!

Well I've been here a week and it already feels like home. I have been exploring the city and finding all the different shops and stores my area has to offer. You can literally buy anything you want off the street, crazy! I'm getting to know all the new and old teachers and they all seem great, I think we will all bring good and different aspects to Highlands. The other day we had a solitude retreat up to La Muela del Diablo (the devil's tooth) and got some great views of the whole city of La Paz, it was beautiful. I am really loving my new home, the mountains are incredible everywhere you look! The only complaint I have is the lack of heat, my fingers are like little ice cubes right now. We also had an Amazing Race type contest with all the new teachers, my team won!! Yeah we know La Paz! It was great fun and a good way to test our knowledge of La Paz.

This week starts school stuff, we will be having meetings and getting our classrooms set up for school in a week! Exciting but very scary! I am excited to meet all my students and get my room set up for the first day! It should be great, I just can't believe in a week I have to be an actual teacher. I am excited about this first semester, to learn and grow and really figure out this whole teaching thing! I am so lucky to be in this amazing place and look forward to seeing what God has in store for my life!
