Note from Leyna...finally!

Hello everyone! Thanks for checking on me! Senora Josefina (the owner of the school) is letting us use the computer (and phone to receive calls) whenever we need to, so that is very good. Today our spanish classes were very fun. Our first teacher taught us a lot of spanish, and our second teacher took us out on a walk. First we went to one of the other teacher's house and made our own tortillas and quesadillas. Then we went for a walk with two other girls who spoke english and their teacher. Our teachers took us to the ice cream parlor up the street and bought us some ice cream. Then we came back and decided to help with one of the little kids classes. They were making flowers out of paper. "Mi gusto helado"- I like ice cream! We will try to send pictures soon...we are heading back to the apartment now. Yesterday (Monday) we went to the orphanage for the first time. It was so sweet when we got there because the little girls were waiting for us. They asked us to get down to their level and they all kissed us on both cheeks and hugged us. Then they took our hands and we played and played with them. They wanted us to pick them up and twirl them around. They are all so sweet! We go back today at 4pm. Can't wait!

Love, Leyna and Melissa!
