Who can believe its Feb already!

Well, I suppose it's time for another update. Things here aren't really any different than a few weeks ago. I have settled back into the idea of having to work and enjoying the challanges of teaching. We have begun weekly seminars on how to teach for non-teachers, or to say those of us who have not studied education. They greatly encourage me and remind me that I am not crazy and I am not a complete failure at teaching. If any of you have advice, PLEASE send it to me! We are using the text The First Days of School by Harry & Rosemary Wong. It is very imformative. However, the text says that the first few days of school decide the rest of the year. It makes me wonder if any of these great, new ideas can be implemented this far into the school year.
I am counting down the days until the work team from my church gets here(March - please pray). I am very excited to share my life with them! Our first work team from Minn arrives on Friday and will begin work the same day! It's always exciting to have work teams come visit.
For those of you who know some of my friends here, April is pregnant! She works at the Young Life camp and is one of the first people I ever met here. Please pray for her new, growing family!
I have a new roommate (picture above) named Elizabeth Eckland. She works for Students International and is an awesome sisiter in Christ. It has been a wonderful encouragement to have her in the house these last few days. I am excited for what God has for us in the future!
