Denny Boersema left yesterday noon. It's always great to have him here. He gets a lot of work done, but also encourages us in the work. I tried to call Alfredo tonight and couldn't get through. No more than 15 minutes after I stopped trying he called me. He has moved up his departure date from the US and plans to arrive back in Honduras in December. As you recall, he's the one that we wanted from the very start to teach our woodworking classes. He and his wife, Flor, have worked with us ever since we arrived here in Honduras. We interviewed a man this morning for the welding teacher position. I don't think he has the experience we need, but possibly can help us with the construction of the dormitories. Tomorrow, a man is coming from Progreso to interview for the job. Nicholas and I went to City Hall this morning to try to talk to the vice mayor and or mayor about property taxes before I have to leave on Tuesday. We were unable to see them today, but have an appointment on Monday. I also went to the Atlantic bilingual school and gave them a certificate of appreciation for having provided interpreters during the medical clinic. They are very gracious and eager to work with us in the future. Lourdes came last night to help Cheryl with the packing. She is now attending nursing classes three times a week and when she gets her certification plans to return here to work.
