It is going too quickly

Well, the fourth week is already over and I am starting to realize that I will very soon be missing El Sauce and all of the wonderful people I have met here. Since Mandy left, I have completely taken over her post in San Jose, tutoring the same group of people everday. One woman is older and she has difficulty recognizing letters, sometimes due to vision, sometimes because she forgets what they look like. However, I have been spending time going over letters with her each day, as well as having her fill in the missing letters of words, and following along in the level one ýo si puedo´book. She is very thankful for the help, and a bunch of kids gather around to enjoy the lesson too. The other woman that I really enjoy tutoring is very enthusiastic and loves to learn. Her husband is working in Honduras so she is all alone with her two little kids, but when I come around she is so happy and grateful that someone is helping her learn new things, like math and reading. She is a very good reader and I only have to correct her occasionally. Math is a different story however. I also help out in the class with the teacher sometimes and with some other students. I am really happy that I have finally settled down somewhere and have a better routine. The first three weeks I would always travel with a man named Erving and never knew what I was doing or where I was going. I saw some great things with him- watching the farmers hike from all different directions up mountains and through the woods to an isolated house in the campos, where their teacher waited for them, was a really cool experience. These farmers really want to learn, mostly for their own self improvement and thirst for knowledge, and it is the same in San Jose. Everyday I here ¨¨gracias, gracias. que te vaya bien¨ about 5 times as I leave each house. Meanwhile, I should be the one thanking them for the experience. I am looking forward to a new week in San Jose starting tomorrow.
