Change has been an overarching theme since returning to Familia Feliz from the vacation. We had about a month to get campus ready for the upcoming school year before the kids came back at the beginning of February. We have a new interim director and an entirely new schedule for the school year. All of the houses except for the Leones changed. I moved into the house that the Guerreros (the older boys) used to live in. It was hard to leave behind the house in which I had experienced so much and in which I had made precious and lasting memories with my girls. But the house changes needed to happen so we could have a campus cafeteria.  Dianara <3 Just returned from vacation!! So much rain has caused the river to rise so much!

Heaps of Happenings

It's the holiday season (the best time of year !!), and while it has brought a new wave of homesickness, it has also been the reason for many fun and unusual happenings here at Familia Feliz!! I feel so blessed to be able to share this happy season with my new family and people I love deeply. Many SM parents came to visit a couple weeks ago and were here over the Thanksgiving holiday. Their presence and help made it possible for us (SM's) to all go to town together for brunch one morning. They also made it possible for us to celebrate American Thanksgiving with all of Familia Feliz. It was quite the undertaking, but it was absolutely amazing and a Thanksgiving I will never forget and always look back on with a full heart. Seeing the kids' reactions to traditional American Thanksgiving food was pretty funny, and the time together was so special. I was extra reminded of all I have to be thankful for and all that I've been privileged to see God do since I've been here ...
