Overdue Update

Bright and early Thursday morning, the Junior and Senior High Students trooped on out to Camp Pirque for a retreat to kick off the school year. Thankfully we had someone take all of our luggage out the camp. So there were approximately 20 of us who took the Metro and Bus out to the camp. The program for the retreat was put together by a youth group from Pennsylvania who had come down to work at the camp. All in all the weekend went very well. It was a good opportunity to get to know the kids from the school a little better.

Again I spent Saturday evening with the Kunnari's and then went to church with them Sunday morning. This last Sunday the Pastor put the outline for his message up on a powerpoint which allowed for me to be able to follow along a little bit better. Slowly but surely and I learning some new Spanish words and a little bit of the grammar.

Last night I was able to go sit in on the Kunnari's language study session. I'm thankful to be able to do that when I can. The man who is tutoring them has graciously allowed me to be involved. I am looking forward to the day when I might be able to rattle things off in Spanish! One of the guards here at the camp has taken quite a bit of time to patiently work through some things with me as well. He doesn't speak much either, but we slowly get across what we need to know. Each day is a new learning day for me and I'm excited when I'm able to use the things I know.

Today was another day for Preschool and things went much more smooth today. I was also able to meet with the Mom's of my two Preschool boys. Both of them were very encouraging and pleasant to talk with. Slowly we are making progress in the classroom. I'm beginning to see that although teaching takes quite a bit of time and effort, it is also very rewarding! Thanks again for your prayers! Please keep praying specifically for wisdom and patience in the Preschool classroom.
