A Wildflower Morning

My days are more busy, because on Monday, February 8, my ESL student arrived on island with her husband, who is the new engineer at Adventist World Radio.  Antonieta and I started English classes together on Tuesday.  I am really enjoying working with her.  She is learning quickly.  A new maintenance director and his wife came from Portland on the same day.
