I rode to a near by beach with some pretty cave/cliff like formations.
The last few weeks have been very rewarding weeks:
2 weeks ago, we had a typhoon which took out our electricity for 3 days. I enjoyed every moment of it, getting away from the technology and hum of electricity and enjoying the quiet. I did get bored a few times and got stir crazy being in the house, but all the more, it gave me a much better appreciation for what we are given, as well as showed me that some of it is not necessary. Most of the time, I played cards, read a book, went out to the beach, and enjoyed the extra time God gave us.
Our typhoon weekend
I added another student to my class 2 weeks ago also which brings my class size up to 21. October is full of four day weeks with professional development days, records days, Parent-Teacher Conferences and so on. I'm not nervous yet for Parent-Teacher Conferences but I know I will be, so please start to pray for me as I prepare for that event.
Many of my students don't know much about God or the Bible and I am so honored to be the first one to teach them about our Great God! The Bible curriculum we use is made for students who do already have a background in the Bible, so on Friday, I stepped away from the curriculum and talked about the Bible and laid out the simplicity of Jesus and a God who loves them. Please pray for me that I may use this Bible time in our day to clearly show students how much God loves them.
On another note, I fulfilled a life long dream of starting my own garden! Planted eggplant, broccoli, and lettuce, as well as the stalk of a celery plant. So excited!
