Hey Everyone!
Another week, another story. :) After planning out a bunch of lesson plans for the school year, I feel quite accomplished and a lot more prepared. I wasn't sure how teaching English was going to work out (since I've never done it before) and was getting slightly worried. Having some lesson plans ready to go makes me feel quite a bit more at my ease!
Today Sheryl and I venture to the market for a very specific reason- I'm planning on making a quilt. I am really excited about this and thought I would share a few pictures of the cloth I got to make the quilt with! They are beautiful...
Hopefully this will be enough fabric to make my quilt. I'm so excited to get started!
Well, our little "vacation" for the family conference when astoundingly well. It was a blast! My friend Angel and I watched all of the kids each morning so the parents could have a meeting and worship time and it was so fun! We popped balloons, blew bubbles, watched Dora the Explorer, had snack time, played on slides and in sandboxes, and all took a ride on a teeter-totter together. Every day was a new adventure that these kids wanted to have....and the afternoons, everyone got to relax in the pool. It was fun lifting little Kaitlyn up onto the slide so her mom could catch her at the bottom and seeing how absolutely happy (and proud of herself) she was when she hit the water at the bottom. What a wonderfully fun way to spend some time with the families and get to know them. I also found a soda I like (for those who don't know- I usually HATE soda...). It's called Berry Mirinda and it is DELICIOUS! I had at least one every single day of the conference.
It's winter here so it's been a bit more rainy and cold. It's so weird thinking of it as being August and Winter at the same time....but at least their winters consist of 75 degree weather and rainy days with plenty of water in our tanks. :)
Thank you for the continual prayers.
Maranatha.

Thanks for sharing Kelly. The best part, besides having fun with the kids, sounds like the pool - relaxing. I love the fabrics they have there; your quilt will be beautiful when it is finished. Enjoy your new found love of a soda...drink as much as you can because I doubt it will be available back here in the States!!!! Love and prayers!
