Even though I live in a crazy city I have to remind myself to look up past the dirty streets to the beautiful mountains just beyond the city. I stayed with the director of the school and her husband for my first three nights in the country at their gorgeous house in the mountains. Their house was so peaceful compared to the city and I was able to catch up on sleep and hear more about their vision for this school. These are pictures of the view from their porch. I am slowly adjusting to my new surroundings and my Spanish is improving daily. There are definitely amazing things going on at this school and I am humbled to be a part of it. We are currently preparing for school which will start on the 22nd. We have workshops every morning and planning time for the rest of the day. 
We had an adventure day last Friday and an all staff retreat to talk about our goals for the year and get to know each other better. I am really amazed by the passion and dedication I have seen in other staff to improving children's lives through a relationship with Christ and a loving environment where they can obtain an awesome education. For our adventure day, we visited a place called 27 waterfalls where guides take you on a climb up numerous small waterfalls. It was breathtaking!
