Day 63
Its Friday. I spent most of my morning working on one of the computers in the library. It was so awesome because I had air conditioning. I eventually fixed the computer and was forced to return to the real world. I skipped badminton today because someone needed to stay back with Saul and Gabi. It went really well. I told Saul to go to the library and he refused(imaginate), so I put him in time out and he stayed there for like 3 minutes before he was detracted by Leo and he ran half way across the school, but I caught him and he finished his sentence in peace. I can't tell you how groundbreaking that is. I punished this child and he didn't scream and cry for the rest of the day. As a reword for handling his punishment well I let him watch the excavator video. He is making progress. Church again tonight. It was the last of the services celebrating the anniversary. Finally the week is over. All I'm doing tomorrow is going to Sam's to buy food and figuring out what to do with the lower field. I also get to sleep in until 8:30. Which is why I am writing my blog at 1:45 in the morning. That should explain the abrupt ending to today's

Day 62
I had a really good morning today. No problems waking up, that never happens. As a result of the extra energy I took on the field. I'm not talking about the friendly side of the field either. I'm talking about the side with the trees and so many holes you can hardly walk threw it. Well I got stuck, but for like 2 hours. One hole after the other full of slippery mud that makes the tires useless so I basically had to just push this thing threw the mud from one hole to the next. Needless to say, I learned my lesson. Next time I'm just going at the grass with a pair of hip waders and a weed whacker. Anyway, so we went to the court today. It went surprisingly well. It was all very official. When we got there they took us to a conference room where we were taught about court educate. Then we were given a full tour of the entire building and we met all of the people working there at the time. Then finally we were taken to a court room were we got to have a short mock trial. We even got a real judge and two lawyers. We were really taken care of. After the mock trial they had krispy kreme doughnuts and sandwiches waiting for us in the conference room. Very fun. Then tonight I went to Spanish church again, and I will go again tomorrow because of all there extra anniversary services. Words are hard, especially when there not English ones.

Day 61
I had no idea he knew karate If you can't beat them, catch them |
Day 60
I finally fixed the bench in the chapel, I have also managed to trick everyone into thinking that this was actual work. It is not. I got to use a table saw, awesome, I love power tools. So does Saul, he likes tractors so today we watched a video on YouTube about them and Betsy realized for the first time that this video has audio. This video is one of twenty videos about trucks for kids. Well they all have these ridiculous songs that go with them and I really feel like your missing out if you haven't heard these. So funny! Follow this link. This one is good too. Saul likes them but he doesn't have to listen to the ridiculous songs. We also had badminton today and the coach is arranging special practices for some of the kids who are starting to get good. He also said that he doesn't think that I am being challenged enough so he is inviting this guy to one of our practices to play against me. I don't know why though, I'm not a student, and I'm not playing in the tournament. Leo is a good enough challenge anyway.
