Dear Mr. and Mrs. Burns, Mason and Jill arrived yesterday. They were exhausted after their long plane ride. My husband and my children, Elena and Manuel, met them at the airport. The children very excited. They got home about 7 p.m. Mason and Jill ate dinner on the plane, so they hungry, but they tired. Elena and Manuel really tired, but everyone went to bed early. Mason a little worried about Jill this morning. She very relaxed at breakfast. I think she a little homesick. Mason homesick at all! But then, Mason and Jill met Elena’s and Manuel’s classmates. They very friendly, but everyone spoke Spanish very fast, so Jill a little frustrated. She embarrassed, too. But she very relaxed and happy at dinner. All the children very busy today. At 9 p.m., Jill and Elena went to bed. They exhausted, but Mason and Manuel . They stayed up late. I think Mason wrote some letters to his friends. So, don’t worry! Today a bad day for the kids – it a great day!

Best wishes,Telma Ortega
