Homeschooling

The nice thing about homeschooling is that it has allowed us to move around without having too much interruuption in the kids' schooling.  Here at the base we usually have a few hours of work duty every afternoon and my duty is teaching my children.  I consider that great, since the rest of the people on the base have to do fun jobs like clean bathrooms, wash dishes or pick up garbage.  We aren't always able to get all of our work done in the time available, so we had slowly gotten about a week behind.  These past two weeks while we had our mini outreach, it gave us a bit more free time, which we took full advantage of to get caught up in our schoolwork.  I am so happy to report that after 2 months here, we are right on schedule.   I praise the Lord for that, because I wasn't sure if we would have any time to do school.  Another blessing is that a neighbor family (also attending one of the schools on the YWAM base) is also homeschooling their two kids who are the same ages as Alexis and Diego.  They are a Chilean family, and it is extremely rare to homeschool here.  So it was a neat surprise to meet them and have our kids be able to play together after "school" while the other kids are still in school for real.

Isn't school fun!
