Emma's in School

Blog entry five, as reported on March 12, 2012


Emma with her teacher and friend Daniela

These past couple of weeks, we have managed to get some kind of program together for Emma’s school. Due to bureaucracy (and likely the short length of our stay), it just wasn’t possible for Emma to go to the local middle school. Our Spanish teacher is actually a French professor so he will teach her both languages. Two afternoons a week, a local teacher will work with her. She has also been invited to attend classes informally at the local primary school which she has been doing two days a week. She has also been hanging out with one of the seminary students learning to crochet. Her days are now not only full and happy but also directed...and I am able to focus better on my studies. I’m still working hard to catch up – I’m not quite there, but getting closer!
