The Last Stretch

I can't believe it's already November 20th. Just one more month left!

Lately, we've been...

enjoying our last days at school:

Alison & Augustina
Franco & Florencia
Mariam & Ceci 
my Mombarete student, Roci
such a little rascal
Juan is thankful for Jesus!
Farid and Tobias
all the kids buy those chocolate (on the table)
so they can get Ben 10 stickers
Carlossss so cute
Harry Potter!
Matias and Milka
we played Battleship
we did a Halloween Mad Lib
the first graders had a little traditional party
and danced with each other, so cute
my English club :)
some more boys started to show up and my club grew to 8!
our last meeting is on Friday, i'm pretty sad...
working on our video project
judged the Senior presentations...so crazy (in a good way)!
it's like a Masters Project!

another Olimpiada!
students making team posters
"Let's go!"
had some fun with a student's pom-pom
Olimpiada for upper elementary!
the 3rd grade performance

still hanging out with awesome people:


Here's Tito! He took us to a Chinese restaurant, where he ordered for us in Mandarin! Thoroughly loved the food and drinks there :) The next day, we went to the mall to watch a movie!
tastes like my drink at Half & Half!
found some more at Agros shopping :)
WHATTTT
Gap's coming to Paraguay!
watched Gravity in 3D

Eva took us to San Bernardino, which is a vacation spot for Paraguayans. Felt like we were at the beach and I loved it! Got to hang out with David, Lea, and Toby for a bit and then went to see 420 Paraguayan harpists break the Guinness World Record!

had some delicious frutilla popsicles!
isn't he just the
CUTEST?
WOOHOO PARAGUAY! 

Ate Mexican food with Rudolfo! The food was seriously delicious, can't wait to go home and eat some al pastor tacos! and the restaurant was sooo cute. He even sneakily paid for our dinner...Rudolfo is seriously one of the nicest guys you could ever meet! 
at Quattro D- we ordered too much dessert.

Got to hang out with the oldest Cler, Samantha! We loved her crochet work so she offered to teach us! We're in the process of making headbands :)
Isa- her daughter is sooo cute

Rita is a fellow English teacher at CPC. She's the sweetest person and has great fashion sense! We invited her over for some kimbap after school!

We celebrated a couple birthdays recently!
Silvia- she has such a joyful spirit and I love her group of girlfriends!

Our dear brother- Amilcar Cler. We spend a lot of time with Amilcar, especially because of Ytororo. He is one of the most dedicated and caring people and he serves so faithfully! He even cooked hamburguesas for us on HIS birthday!
Amilcar- we are so blessed to know you and your family!

Looking through all these pictures just made me realize that I have so many memories here that I don't want to forget and knowing that I only have one month left makes me want to take advantage of every moment! Although we will be in Paraguay for 1 more month, the school year ends next Thursday! and that means we only have about a week left with our students! Although there are moments when I want to throw some of them out the window, I'm hoping to be able to show them love, kindness, and compassion. If I'm having a rough day, I want to respond to them in a manner that is reflective of the gospel. Please pray that I would be a witness of Christ in all that I do!
