more of my life in el salvador...


This is Isaiah I’m going to tell you about what I’ve been doing lately.
 orphanage group shot




making chocobananos!!






School: In school I am in the band, first I played a thing that you would scrape up and down. 
Then one day the triple drum player wasn’t doing good and I went up and did the rhythm. One of the instructors noticed and later they adjusted it and put it on me and I could do it! After a while some people thought that it was to heavy and later they changed me to the snare drum. I want to practice but I’m at home.
Bacteria:  Awhile ago I got this infection on my ear and it spread to my body. I went to the doctor about 5 times, and then yesterday I went to the capital [San Salvador] and saw a kids doctor which is called a pediatrician. She was nice and helpful. I got some new medicine and it’s already getting better.
Spanish: Some times when I am thinking I will think in Spanish and English. Now when I talk I don’t need to think as much about translating. I am fluent in the stuff I know well. In Spanish you pronounce all the letters except H.
Other: In San Vicente there has been some things happening like fighting. Two groups do not like each other very much. There has been some murders lately too. The to groups don’t like so much that they separated them into to different jails.
We had some visitors and there names were Emily and Tyson (tyson translated is flaming log!). We went to the beach, and there was a dog that is going to have babies. I miss home and want to go out to B.C. and help my friends build a cabin.


 (orphanage soccer game - GO BARCA!!!)
We went to an orphanage and played soccer. The first time we went we roasted hot dogs and marshmellows. It was really good. This time, we played soccer with lots of the kids. They are very good at soccer and very nice kids. After we had snacks that we had brought. There are 48 kids at the orphanage and most of them have been treated very badly in their homes or streets before coming there. The kids are never told to leave. They may stay as long as they want when they get older.
This is my dad in his redonculous glasses (my mom thinks they are anyway)



This is Ben. He fell out of his bed around 3 in the morning. He got 7 stitches and 8 needles for freezing...

don't look if you are squeamish...
Please comment and have a good back to school month bye.

Hey Isaiah,
We can hardly wait for you to come help your friends build a cabin in BC. We think you might be able to build it yourself with all the building you have been doing in El Salvador!. We can hardly wait to see you in December. Say hi to the rest of your family.
