Just a short one...

Buenas! Today was a great day, but so long! I tested some of my new missionary kids and they were really cute. I loved them. Tomorrow actual school starts. I have 18 students...and I have no idea how many of them actually speak English. So please please please pray for my sanity tomorrow. :) The worst part of today was the fact that I had to meet with a parent to discuss some difficult issues. It was awkward to start off that way and I'm sure those of you who know my bodily responses to nervousness will understand how I handled that situation. :) lol anyway I have to go figure out what I'm going to do with these kids tomorrow, so I have to go. Please just pray for us because starting school here is nothing like in the states. Everything is out of control! But thankfully we don't have to do this on our own, we can trust our faithful Father to give us the strength to do the things He asks us to do! Good thing, because we're all going poco loco (a little crazy)! Much love to all! God bless you for all of your notes of encouragement (and rice recipes). :)

Hey TRISH! I have been reading you're blogs and I dont know how you're doing it, I would not know what to do with myself if no one spoke english. Well I hope you're first day of school goes great, I saw the pictures of your classroom it is so cute. "miss wegman's claa" that is just so weird I cant believe you have your own class. I cant wait to teach now. You are going to be the best teacher ever. I miss you and love you
