School starts

This is Lisa's mom again since it may be a while until they get to an intenet site. The new school term starts Monday Jan 9. Lisa will be teaching math to 9th graders and Russ will be in the computer lab. No surprises there. They met with the headmaster and other teachers last week. She is working on her lesson plans and a little nervous about how things will go. I'm sure she will do just fine.
Lisa said she was bored last week and asked the neighbor boy if he wanted to play soccer. Lisa's been a pretty good player since grade school. They boy said yes and ran off to get a ball and some other boy players. They were impressedby Lisa's skills, especially when she headed the ball. Guess girls don't get to play the same type of soccer as boys! When she played again with them she said she wasn't even the last chosen for the team. Making progress! She hopes to organize a girls soccer team soon.
They seem fine and have adjusted to their living conditions. Mail is slow in getting to them but they have received a few packages and letters. Lisa said if you want to mail them anything, look at their blog wish list. They plan to go to the city about once a month to catch up on their e-mail.
If you have anything you want to tell them, please e-mail me at lesnett(at)hawaii(dot)edu and we will pass on your message. I call them a lot!!
