Hello Everyone! I am so glad it's Saturday. It was a long week. I think both the kids and I had a difficult time getting back into things after Thanksgiving brake. I can't wait to see what they will be like in January.

On Friday the entire school went on a field trip to see the ballet of "The Little Mermaid". It was crazy! Just imagine 500 kids in the same theater. I only had one chaperoned to help me keep 19 kids from squirming, talking and needing to use the bathroom every 5 minutes. Ha ha It was hard, but the dancing was beautiful and I know it was a good experience for the kids.





These are some pictures of us on the way to the theater. They were so excited!



























My class was one of the first to get there, so I kept them occupied by taking their picture and letting them take pictures. It worked for a while.












































I have less than two weeks until I leave to come home. I can't believe it! It is going to be so great to see you all again. I can't wait to drive again, have a hot shower and use a microwave. It has been such a blessing to be here though too and I am making a difference. I have to remember that when I get on the plane to come back. Yesterday after school, I stopped and looked at their prayer requests for the day and was amazed. I didn't say any of these, they came up with all of these requests on their own. What a great opportunity it is to encourage their growth and help them know the love of God.






















I have a prayer request- Grandpa Wilcox isn't doing well. Please keep him, my grandma and our whole family in your prayers. God Bless!
