So...it's time for us missionaries to get a rest. That is, we are leaving for retreat on Monday. We will be spending a few days at the beach. It's all the WGM people in Honduras and we will be getting lots of time rest as well as time to get together and special devotions every night. Right now I am in Tegucigalpa at the mission guesthouse. It's so good to have a chance to rest. This last week was exam week and it is exhausting for teachers as well as students. We have to make sure we have the homework graded, write tests, watch the students take the tests, grade the tests and figure out GPAs. I haven't been able to sleep much this last week as well as it being a stressful time in general (it's hard to write tests that aren't too easy or too hard and to prepare the students for them). They have these tests 3 times a year and they are like midterms or finals, so it's a big deal.

It's funny, it feels good to be away from the school because I haven't been off campus (other than day trips to Catacamas) for several months. And it's great to see people I haven't seen yet. But it feels weird to know I won't be back to the school for a week.
