Joe here. Our time here in Paraguay is coming to an end as we have a little more than a month and a half remaining. November is the last month of the school year and the thought of having to say good-bye to my students bums me out big time. This month is going to be extremely busy as we prepare final exams, turn in grades, and try to spend as much time with the friends that we have made here. Here are some pictures of what happened in October.
Olimpiada for upper elementary!
