Prayer

I have not written a blog in forever, and for that I am truly sorry! My whole time here has been a blur. It’s crazy how fast things have gone, and reality hitting that I only have 4 more months here before I am flying back home.

Today, during class when my kids discovered that 4 months left of school also meant 4 more months with me, the classroom turned from excitement into pleas that I stay next year. I truly love those kids so much, and reality has hit that soon I will have to say goodbye to them and that breaks my heart.

I have learned so much in my time here. The Lord is teaching me so much, but it’s all good because I need to learn every single lesson that He is trying to teach me.

I the tropical weather and me don’t go well together. Something in the air likes to make me sick, whether it be a mosquito or I wake up one morning with boils on me. Either way, I have been fighting being sick here for a while. I pray though that I will remain healthy.

So I have some exciting news. One of my students’, Kyle, has been coming to church consistently, and has been enjoying being there. He also started Bible studies today! I am so excited to see God working in His life, and I pray that God will do the same for the others in my class.

I no longer have 13 students, but now I have 14. A 5^th grader transferred up to 6^th grade semester time. I was concerned at how much I would have to work with her to get her up to where she needed to be, but she fit right in and is the brightest kid I know. She hasn’t asked any questions and is still getting A’s on her assignments. She picks up concepts so quickly and is super smart.

I am enjoying learning more about the culture here, and listening to my students.

I love that my students love to have fun, and will let me join them in their fun. They will always let me play basketball with them, or whatever they are doing they want me to join in.

I wish I could make all of you understand how special this place is to me. I know when I leave I will be leaving my heart behind. I was talking with my fellow SM’s and we were talking about how our students would be well taken care of all the way and even after they graduated. My first class ever will hold a special place in my heart.

I don’t really know what else I can tell you. Nothing super exciting has happened to me lately. I know this is short but I will try and be more consistent about uploading more posts.

Please keep praying for our school. This month has been a tough one for me, but God has helped me every step of the way.

And please as always pray for my students.
