Progress

Yesterday I had my first student learn to play more than one note with one hand at the same time. Exciting stuff! Charlene is in 4th grade and is doing very well with piano. She was a little overwhelmed with the new info, but I think she'll do well with it.
Something strange has happened the last couple of nights-I have actually been cold! Clarification for those who don't know-I have no air conditioning, and the only way I've been able to sleep is the 6 inch clip on fan I have in my room. Normally it's quite warm in the house, but the past few days it has been nice because of all the rain. Who knows how long that will last, but for right now I am really enjoying needing a blanket at night!
This weekend was nice. We went to El Morro, and after that to the beach, where I got sunburned, but not as bad as last time. Don't ask me which beach we went to, because I have no idea. We got a little lost (Priscilla was driving), and when we saw water and sand, we decided to stop. We figured all we had to do was follow the water and we'd get home eventually.
Here's some pictures from our grand adventure.

Doorways inside the fort- I love pictures like this!

The beach we found while we were lost =)

This weekend we have fall festival, so that's going to be really busy, but next week we only have 3 days of classes. Yeah for Columbus Day on Monday and Parent Teacher Meetings on Friday!

Nice pictures. There's a missionary family from my church somewhere on the island, and they keep sending back some great photos. Really beautiful place.

I've got a question for you - I wanted to let you know about a site listing current and former BJ students' blogs - bjbloggers.mountyscorner.com - and I wanted to make sure it was okay to add you. Check out the site or email me at tmount-at-bju-dot-edu. Thanks.
