To Bannach Kindergarten: From Mrs. Neff


Hola ninos y ninas! (Hello boys and girls!)
Como estan? (How are you?) Bien? (Good?) I hope you are doing a good job listening to Mrs. Volz. Are you excited about the 100th day of school? Have a great day on Wednesday!

Today it was warm, sunny, and breezy here in Costa Rica. It was warm enough to wear shorts. What is the temperature in Stevens Point? Has it been warm? Is the snow melting?

When we got to the church this morning at 9:00, there were already 20-25 people waiting to see a doctor. Some of them had been waiting since 7:30 in the morning. Wow! They were very excited that we were there to take care of them. My job was to walk the patients to see the doctor, so I’ve learned to say “Come with me” in Spanish, it is “Ven con migo.” The children are cute. I haven’t been able to work with them much, but one of the women did today. They played soccer (futbol), Monkey in the Middle, and many other games with balls. The little boy in the picture was playing his guitar at church while we were singing. Isn't he cute?! Mrs. MaryBeth (in the other picture) is teaching the children how to brush their teeth.

Keep being good students! I miss you all very much. Love, Mrs. Neff

  1. Good to see that Mom is keeping up with the hygiene. Always impressive. Can't wait to hear from you all when you get back. I'm dying to find out how it went. P.S. Mom, I got your packages in the mail today.
