Hayden's Visit--Day 3

The primary reason Hayden came to visit was so he could talk to the administration at Escuela Panamericana about a teaching position for the 2016-17 school year.  He will graduate from the University of Charlotte in May and is considering whether God is calling to teach here in El Salvador.  

Koky is the Chaplain at the school and provides counseling for staff and students.  He talked with the school owners and administrator on Monday morning and they set up an interview at 2:30.  Unfortunately, when Koky called me to tell what time the interview was, I thought he said it was at 12:30 p.m.  So, after printing off the resume and ironing the "interview" clothes, we arrived at the school at 12:20.  I called Koky to let him know we had arrived.  Oops--the interview wasn't until 2:30 p.m.  Luckily, the school is less than 10 minutes from our apartment.

We returned home, had gourmet chili dogs (not) and waited until it was time to leave again.  Hayden met up with Koky who took him inside and introduced him to the principal.  I waited patiently outside in the truck.  At the end of the interview, both Hayden and Koky were pleased.  Hayden said he really liked principal and the school.  The excellent news was that they will have a history opening for the next school year and the school has an apartment on site where he could live.  They can't move forward, however, until after graduation, so his next trip down will probably be in May.

After the interview, we celebrated by walking to Red Mango for frozen yogurt.  Later in the afternoon we went to Gran Via to watch The Martian, which we all enjoyed.  We finished the night off with pizza at Vitto's.

Happy Birthday

Monday was my birthday and I made my favorite dessert--a cherry cobbler--to celebrate.  We had a nice, quiet day at home only venturing out to eat lunch at


(love their sweet potato fries) and then walk to


for dinner.  

There were phone calls from kids/grandkids and family/friends, plus hundreds of Facebook greetings from good friends all over the states and Central America.   

Maria Elena, Ena and Isabel took to me breakfast at 


on Tuesday morning.  It was a great time of fellowship:  talking about Hilo, Aguja and Biblia and enjoying each other's company. 

I'm so thankful for God's blessing in my life . . . there's just nothing better!
