Que semana!

So many things have happened these past few weeks! The top three that stand out for me are

1) Michael Jackson Thriller Skit where Gina and I "danced" with the teachers in front of the entire school
- i put dance in quotations because we only practiced the routine like 5 times and so as you might expect we only knew the first few moves of the dance. well i really am glad that we had awesome costumes because the dance was a lot worse than we expected! we basically did the first move and then everyone started doing something different and so at some point of the teachers yelled, caminamos and so we just started walking around like zombies. it was pretty hilarious! the skit was for the celebration of dia de los ninos which apparently is an important celebration for the country of el salvador. however, as we have found out, they have important celebrations for just about everything here!

2) Last Thursday I woke up from a deep sleep and thought I was dreaming because it felt as if my bed was moving. Then I soon realized that it was not a dream, it was in fact a tremor from a terremoto! It lasted for several seconds and was it was over I heard all the sisters come out of their room and talking about it. At this point I was too tired to get up. So the next morning I asked Gina if she had felt anything and she was like what are you talking about. I then started to doubt myself, maybe there wasn't one. Then the topic of breakfast was the terremoto! We couldn't believe Gina hadn't felt anything!

3) Unfortunately the sickness has found us. Gina started feeling weird this past Friday and soon was burning up with a temperature of 102.8. We headed to the clinic the following morning and found out she has the amoeba! The doctor gave her pills that should hopefully clear it up. Apparently she had the highest level of amoeba and infection possible! They tell us it's common and so no need to worry :) The experience of the clinic and being it was the first time we dealt with sickness here was an adventure in itself.
