It is hard to believe that I have already completed two weeks of school! The second week was even better than the first. I feel like I am getting adjusted to teaching 2 grades and 4 boys. I am starting to figure out their personalities and what they really like and what they really don't like. Every week in our Bible class I have a verse for them to learn by the end of the week. Well one of my boys learned it the first day and said it everyday the rest of the week. He asked me if he could say it anywhere or just at school. I told him the more places he said the better it would be. So he replied with, "So I can even say it on the soccer field?" Of course I said yes so he was happy. Well Saturday I was walking close to his house and he ran out shouting Miss Kelly I still remember the verse. He was so proud of himself so I let him say it again to me and off he went.
Saturday the other half of the duplex I live in was completed, so the other girls moved in. Now all 6 single female teachers are living in one house. Everyone was really excited. I also decided to rearrange my room and put things on the walls. It is starting to feel more like my home now because I put pictures all over the walls. Sunday we went to church and ate at the mall. We did some grocery shopping then headed back to the ranch to get ready for school on Monday.
Things are going really well here for me. I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that this is right where I need to be this year. Please continue to pray for school and my boys. Thanks for your prayers so far. I was telling a friend the other day that there are hundreds of butterflies everywhere here and how much I loved them. She told me that they were all the prayers that were being sent my way. That was the most comforting thought and everytime I see them it reminds me of how many people are praying for me. Thanks again!
