wow its the start of our 3rd week already, we have looked at the calendar and we leave for home 2 weeks from today.
In some aspects it seems like its been an eternity, and in other ways its flown by so quickly.
It was a really quiet weekend around here, it was kinda neat to be here for easter, but at the same time it was a little hard as well, we knew that most of our family and friends at home would be celebrating and we missed that.
With the language barrier its really tough to try to figure out what is going on at church and around here at the orphange. Alex is doing so much better at this than I am. He seems to have the patience and memory for the words and phrases he learns.... which as most of you know, these are 2 things that he doesnt brag about having at home. I know that I´m missing so much by not understanding portugese, but each trip gets a little better.
Today wasnt super productive for the 2 of us, we did a few things around the tech centre where we stay but didnt make it up to the new house to work on anything there. There is still grouting, painting and much more to do up there, thankfully tomorrow is a new day.
The computer class is about to start, and I´m getting kicked off here.
Take care, and please keep in touch
hugs
Laura & Alex
