A Look Back

Our 1st week of school went very well. I am adjusting to teaching on a block schedule which is very different than everyday teaching the same subjects. My middle school students are sharp. We have already had our first test and all A's. I tutored Daniel today. He is the boy who wants to come to school full-time; our session was very successful and I am confident we will make the necessary progress in time. Please pray for him.

Our house is coming along great! I was in there over the weekend sweeping up and helping with some electrical wiring issues (thanks dad). The addition is walled in and now just the finishing touches along with electrical stuff. We are excited about getting truly settled. We visited a church this weekend with one of the missionary families here. Their sanctuary was being worked on so we all crammed into the old building with no fans, and it was 98 degrees here yesterday. The sermon was solid on the life of King Hezekiah, and I understood almost everything the pastor said; what a blessing. We tried our first restaurant yesterday too. We had fish from the river, which is a tributary of the Amazon River flowing out of Brazil. It was delicious. In the afternoon, we played volleyball with the church and enjoyed getting to know them. Victoria sends HI to everyone and thanks for writing. It is an encouragement.
