I want to tell you about my first day of school.  I was very, very nervous before I went to school.  I thought people were going to make fun of me.  But apparently I was wrong.  I am friends with every boy in my class and they all like me a lot, I think.   You have to walk in through a big gate and a security guard named Hido, I think, opens the gate for you.  Then you can see the teachers house and the comedor and the library.  In front of my class is a big playground.  The room name of my class is cuarto.  It is upstairs.  The rooms all face outside.  They do not have a/c.  It gets very hot in our room sometimes.

One day before school started, my daddy took me to the Minninite farm.  I met a boy named Phillip.  I had a lot of fun.  He showed me around the whole farm and I thought it was pretty cool.  (Cool would be 'massisso' in Honduran.)  Phillip and I did all kinds of stuff.  We even crawled over walls next to big cow sacks.  We also jumped out of a trailor into freshly mowed grass.  We also crawled next to cow food that they were making.  This is how they make it.  They use cuttings from grass that they stuff in a machine that cuts it into tiny pieces.  Then they let it sit for about a week.  They also make their own coffee from coffee seeds.  They put it in this big thing that has a torch that shoots into it.  The coffee spins and gets warmed up.  When it is done, this guy opens up a little door and you pick out the burnt ones and the not cooked enough ones.  Then it shoots out another door into a sack.

We sang the 'Oh No You Never Let Go' song in Spanish on our first day of school.  I loved it and can't wait to learn the words.

That's all I have.
