Jake and I have been doing great. Thank you all for your prayers and support. We have really felt them especially as people have commented that we are adjusting remarkably well. Thanks to the Lord, he has helped us so much in this transition.
One of the things I love about the place I work, Doulos Discovery School, is being able to hang out with students. I had wanted to have the sixth grade girls over to our house and finally it happened! It was so much fun to connect more with the girls and the other teachers. I had eight sixth grade girls over after school until about ten o'clock. They wanted a pajama party, but I thought this would be enough time together for now. We had a water fight in the yard, played tag, painted nails and toenails, ate junk food and pizza, danced a lot, and watched a movie. I had so much fun and can't wait to plan our next party.
I am really excited about the way that the Lord is opening doors to be involved with kids' lives. I love getting to know the students here and in doing this I hope that I can be an example to them in word and in deed. They are so awesome and I just wanted to share some pictures from our party so you can see how much fun we had!
Please continue to pray for me as I am asking the Lord what he would have me continue doing here. I would love to be involved more in discipling and leading Bible studies. For right now, teaching has been an amazing way to connect with students and to pour into their lives.
