Good-Bye Cuernavaca






We were sad to say good-bye to Cuernavaca the end of January.
Our (3rd) host family was kind and generous. We learned lots at Universal (language school). Isaiah and Micah had a wonderful, rich time at preschool. Isaiah even went on his first “play date” at his friend Brisa’s house the week before we left.

Friday – Our last day in Cuernavaca
The teachers and students at the boys’ school, The Buena Tierra, had a wonderful farewell party for all of us. We sang songs and danced together. Isaiah and Micah gave each student a little notebook and small box of colored pencils. Their teachers gave them a gift, a big hug, and many tears. The school as a whole gave us some much needed kitchen items. We felt loved and blessed.

In the afternoon, Isaiah’s friend Brisa, her mom, and her little brother went with us to a nearby ecological park. We rode a small train, ate, played in the park and looked at a variety of animals. Our friends Martha (fellow athlete) and her son Allan (5 years old) met us there. We had a wonderful time together.

We spent the evening relaxing at home with our host family. How wonderful it is to have friends.

P.S. If you want to financially support the preschool Micah and Isaiah attended, La Buena Tierra (Good Earth School), consider becoming a Global Family member. See MCC's website at mcc.org for more information.
