Day Five by Leona

good evening followers of the herman and levina chronicles.
mom was to tired to type tonight so she threw me the laptop and said "here write something interesting". so here it goes...
7:00 am- woke up and got ready for school, left home by 7 45 and arrived at school by 8 am. It was my turn to do devotiones, so I quickly got my cofffee and sat down and got the bibles and songbooks. at 9 am , mom and pop showed up at school,and after their second cup of cofee , they were ready to work. Mom set to work organizing a new supply of medicine and donationes. She cleaned up the medical room, got everything organized, and even made an inventory list, (painstakingly neat). Then she had another coffee and went to check on Pop. (Pop had spent a good chunk of the morning trying to get the generator started and keeping it started, and hanging out with me in my tutoring class while sipping coffee.....but once it got started arounf 11 am, he went right to work)! Pop was upstairs working on making the cabinets for the new classroom. He was quite pleased to have 2 helpers for the day, and one who even spoke English. They quickly became fast friends, by this time, Pop was desperate for someone to understand and listen to him intently. Rafael did just that. They made great progess. Then it was lunch time--a delicious meal of rice and beans and beef and salad. After another coffee, they were ready to work once more. Pop went back upstairs to his helpful helpers, and cutting wood, while mom went outside to find a quiet spot in the shade to practice her spanish. Around 2 30, mom and I went home to do some laundry and then to my english tutoring class with Jorge ( A colombian man , who I have been giving enlish class). Mom helped him practice his conversational skills and they spent the next hour and a half, having a great chat, and doing her very best to understand his broken english. All was going well , until we were about to leave, and Jorje leaned over to mom and said " Levina, thank you so much for your passion for me!"
mom was a little startled, and for the first time in the 2 hour class, was left speachless.
(what Jorje had meant to say was "thank you so much for your patience with me.)
haha, we (mom and I ) had a good laugh. Poor Jorje had turned a little red though.
We then went home , where we found Pop outside in the street counting motorcycles (at least he wasnt perched on his cement block peering over the fence at the neighbors) were I slaved in the kitchen preparing a wonderful squash dish with left over chicken from our BBQ last night. Then I did the dishes and cleaned up while mom and pop continued to relax, and then I came into the living room and was given the computer to type this summary, and Now I am heading out!
Hope you all have a great evening and continue to follow the chronicles of hermano and Levinia. Tomorow is sure to be another interesting day....
