Guess who missed L


August seems happy to have L home.

Sensei's update for Saturday that arrived Friday night our time:

Hi, everyone! All the sick students are feeling better and we are all back to school this morning! Some of them still look tired, but I guess it is normal since we haven't had a day off since we got here....

I can tell that some students are having so much fun and others are struggling with their communication although no one is having a bad experience.

I talked to some of the students about their experiences. ... Elaine picked up her host brother from cram school, stopped to get donuts, etc. She was so excited that this morning she was watching a news with her family and she understood a lot of it! ... These little moments are truly the amazing moments that the students will remember forever. The big field trips are nice but this homestay part is really the core of this exchange program that is so unique and precious. We are so glad that our students are trying their best, some really trying hard to come out of their shells, and trying to make relationships. Amazing kids!
