She was a very quiet, sweet 14yr old. She didn't try much to speak English which made things a little hard but she was very easy to be around. She ate Whatever we gave her and she loved the kids.
She had a few days of school and was able to spend the weekend and holidays with us!
This was the night we picked we up and the poster we made her
She cried Christmas Eve as she opened her gifts from us. American money/coins with magnets on the back and a pretty bracelet. we saved the rest for Christmas morning.
The best way to break through the language barrier was playing with the kids. Need fun wars!
It was a fun opportunity but I wouldn't do it gain UNLESS there are two of them. It was hard as a hostess to make sure she was happy and not bored etc. If she had a friend with her (like our girls from china did) they can talk to each other and bounce ideas off each other, keep company etc.
This sure made us miss Yvonne and Tina!!! We still talk to our girls from china and miss them a lot.
