It was a dark and stormy night. The fire raged outside, while the winds and rain smashed against the roof and lashed against the walls. We hid under our blankets, wondering when it would all end.
The fire comes from the steel refinery, and it's really bright. They work 24/7, it seems. The rain has been coming down for several days now, so I went and got an umbrella. Yay.
Very cool things. We got an apple the other day. Hopefully, the seeds will grow many apple trees. If you get my drift. It's a very cool apple. Big daddy loves it.
We had our first day of classes. Little chaotic, but very enjoyable. You can never stop loving kids. They're so enthusiastic about everything. Of course, you will always have your usual problem children, but we hope for wisdom on how to help them learn to really grow into their potential.
David and I have pretty much thrown out our plans for our English lessons because our kids know far less English than we anticipated. We did a diagnostic test where they had to write as many English words as they could within 10 minutes. Nine of them weren't able to write anything. Nine of them were able to write one to three words. So we'll go straight from scratch for these kids, as if they're learning English for the first time.
Apparently, there's a big ruckus out on the town. Some stuff happened, though I don't have the details. Just hope that nothing will turn for the worse. Vancouver Canucks 94 Stanley Cup Final Game 7 potential. Do you get the reference? It is worrisome. Thankfully, we're not close to town, but please think about the situation. I'm sorry that I can't say many details. But a lot of people are upset.

Hey Bobby,
Got your apple story but not the Stanley Cup reference. Got to brush up on my hockey. Will be remembering whatever is happening in town that is causing people to be upset. Let us know more details if possible. Lots of people back home are thinking about you guys.
