Our school's main fundraiser for the year is Fall Festival. Students and teachers set up festival booths... There's an international food fair... Music... Dancing... Prizes... Good times....

I was chosen for "The Big Toe Award"... which signifies someone who plays a small, important role in the functioning of the body.
In November, I had to make a very hard decision about next year. I came here on a two year contract, and this is currently my second year. Therefore, I had to decide whether or not to renew my contract. Over two months and through a lot of prayer, advice, discussion, more prayer, more advice, more prayer.... I decided that I will not be renewing my contract for next year.
I love this country. I love my job. I love my family and friends here.
I've been starting to take pictures of the places where I live and work when I simply say to myself, "Wow... This place is so beautiful...I'm going to miss this..."

I got to see another city in Venezuela, Valencia, as we went to VANAS which is an international English schools' teacher conference. I love the opportunity to get new ideas, insight, and inspiration into the profession I love.
A view on the drive...
