Fall turning to Winter...

The weather over the last couple weeks has progressively gotten colder. I wake up every morning and peak out my window to see what the day may hold. Oh the joy to see the sunshine rising over the Mountains... even if it is surrounded by smog! :) We have had a couple of cold days here and there, but nothing to horrible. Everyone has informed me that the winter is supposed to be especially cold this year, but so far we haven't see that yet. I wouldn't mind if it held off for another six weeks. :p

This evening I will be participating in a little "camping" outing with some of the kids from the Elementary. While getting ready for school this morning, I received a phone call asking me if I would be willing to help chaperone a group of the 5-6th graders who will be spending the night here on campus. Apparently they are doing some sort of wilderness experience and are going to build a campfire and all. So this evening when they are all ready to crawl into their little sleeping bags I will join the girls in their tent. Hopefully the night isn't super cold, but I will be fully decked out in warm clothing, lots of blankets, and a hot water bottle!

Germ-X!!!

It's official... the swine flu is in Chile... Ahhhh!! Just when I thought the craze was dying out... The school administrator came around to each of the classrooms today with specific instructions that everyone is to wash their hands and use germ-x every day before they eat lunch. I'm not really worried about it however. The Lord is still in control.

This week has turned out to be extremely short. There are only class days due to a Chilean holiday on Thursday and an extra holiday given for Friday. My goal is to be diligent in the work I need to accomplish.

The semester and school year are quickly drawing to a close and I know that it will be over before in a flash. Many of the students as well as the administration are beginning to fret over what is going to happen for teachers next semester. There is still a need for at least 2 more teachers. Will you be in prayer with me for the school? I know the Lord is in control and His timing is perfect.

Spirit Week - Clash Day

Being a little over halfway through the second semester here at SCA provides great timing for Spirit week. The weather is turning dreary and getting ready to hit the rainy season.... so a little extra "Spirit" is in order.

The different classes in the Elementary and High School have been divided into 4 teams with 2 teachers on each team as well. So every morning this week, we will gather with our teams and do a predetermined activity as a group. This first day, Clash Day, each team came up with a team name and decorated their team poster. Miss Lori, the Kindergarden teacher, and myself are the offical leaders of the "Yello Jaket Jokers" (all words are intentionally misspelled).

As you can see... the Junior High girls did very well in their clashing abilitites. It promises to be an exciting week with more great days to follow.
