Alex cracks me up 24-7. He is the funniest kid I've ever come across. He's always so happy, but in such a quiet, contained way!I got a tour of his house a few weeks ago. I walked down the street with one of the full-time missionaries, Jenny, to her apartment after school one day. She lives next door to Alex.
He saw me and, containing his excitement, asked, 'Miss, come see my house.' I said sure, and was lead through the nicest house I've seen in Honduras--beautiful tables, two TVs, designer drapes. Wow. His parents are rich! And the whole time Alex stood there in quiet pride, giddiness, and excitement.
Just yesterday I called him up to my desk to show him his grades for the first Partial (quarter). I pointed at my grid, 'Alex, you got 86% in Math, 98% in Science, and 96% in Bible. You did very well, Alex!'
His face glowed with concealed pleasure. 'Yes, Miss,' is all he said. And he started chanting '86 Math, 98 Science, 96 Bible' over and over on the long trek back to his seat, his face all scrunched up in concentration.
I wish I had a video of him for you--he does daily, normal things in such a (i know i shouldn't say it about a boy, but it's true!) cute way!!
