Being Delayed was a Good Thing

Yesterday I was down about being delayed, however it has allowed me to do some more research on my placement. I did a google search for my placement and was able to find a phone number for the school that I'll be working at. I called it via Skype (it has low rates on international calls) and was able to speak with the lady that I'll be working with. She was able to give me a background of the school, told me a bit about the students, and gave me some information on what to expect. She explained that the students begin to learn "english" in the secondary school seem greatful that I would be going there to help them.

This also allowed me time to create a guide in English and Spanish on how to play the game of "Touch American Football" I plan on showing the students how to play the touch version of the game and I'm sure it will be a lot of fun.

I just hope that my baggage gets there in time with my equipment.

I'm a firm believer that God makes things happen for a reason and this was a perfect example. If I would have went to Lima yesterday as orignally planned I would have missed the opportunity to speak with my placement manager and wouldn't have been able to document instructions for playing "Touch American Football."
