back in the saddle






Oh life is full of lessons of humility.  I jumped the gun in assuming
that EF had switched our exchange student.  With the long list of mixed
messages and bungled administrative faux pas on EF's part it's now my
turn to eat that humble pie.





Egg face boy.  










=============================





Adriana, the problem that EF had with the Brazilian boy is repaired and
fixed.  Your first name (Adriana) and his last name are very similar. 
There in that package that was very obviously about you and not him so
EF had not changed our student.   They only made an easy mistake on the
name.





We will welcome you at the airport when you arrive on September 9th?.





Please come and stay with us this year.





We have your room ready.





Bonnie was crying when she thought you might not be coming to us.  We
feel very badly that we have given you problems.  We want you to join
us for a great year in Canada.





Please tell us when you have booked your flight to Winnipeg.


We'll have a big sign with your name on it so you can find us when you come off the plane.





We have had some problems communicating with EF, but Theresa and I have
committed ourselves to your well being while you are here with us. 
Between Theresa and us, I'm sure we can make your year here a fantastic
adventure.  It's not the big city, but we have big hearts and a warm
fire for the cold winters.




We are sorry for any confusion.  Everything is in place to bring
you to our home in a few weeks.  Please forgive my mistakes.


Ian.
