1. One of the assignments that I had to complete for Didactica de las Matematicas involved finding out when operations with fractions are first taught in elementary school, and then finding that lesson in a text book and making a copy of it. I searched online to see what the standards are in Peru for fractions, and according to what I read, I determined that I needed to make copies from the fourth grade book, so I did. However, all of my classmates knew more about where to look for this information, and they all determined that this is first taught in third grade. Oops! So, I arrived in class with the wrong materials... but Leyda, one of my classmates, had made an extra copy of the third grade text book for me!
2. As you all know, there are some really cool mountains here!! And God made them!!!!!!!!!!
3. I am soaking up God's love through my familia here in Arequipa. They have been so patient with me as I learn more about their language and culture, and they have been so kind and welcoming to me everyday!
4. God is teaching me to slow down, stop, and rest. My time in Peru does not need to be spent frantically, hurrying from one thing to another and spending every moment of free time doing homework.
5. I see God answering my prayers about getting to know mi familia and my classmates.
6. God has been constantly reminding me that He is my refuge and my joy. He has been training me to keep my eyes fixed on Jesus Christ at all times, including times of uncertainty and confusion.
God is so good Hannah! Now really, are these pictures real? :-)
