India

It has been a whirlwind of a week. Between getting report cards done, writing finals, teaching, and getting ready for India, there has been little time for rest. But it will be SOOOO worth it. I am so excited and so blessed to have the opportunity to go back. I never know when it will be, but I always leave feeling that I will be back one day. This one day happens to be exactly a year from my arrival there in 2009... how awesome is that??
Please pray that God would sustain us. It can be a very tiring experience, but I hope through the hand of the Lord I will be able to give it my all and still come back feeling somewhat rested and ready for next semester.
I feel so inadequate. There are some amazing women that have gone with me and now before me, and they are big shoes to fill! Pray that the children would grow and be discipled through our time there and that they would know they are loved, not only by me, but more importantly by our heavenly father. Pray for energy and rest and just a sweet time with these children that I love!
I won't have internet, so this will be my last post until I get back in 2 weeks.
Thanks for the prayers and support!

A collage of Pictures

Sorry... I'm really bad at keeping this updated. Instead of writing a bunch of words about what I've been up to, here are some pictures:

GES had a talent show a few weekends ago:






The 2nd and 4th grade went on a field trip to Safari World, a small animal theme park (reminded me of my Disney Days... on a much smaller scale of course!):
















A fun night out to the Bangkok Spanish club's Venetian Mask party:



More to come. We have one more week left of the first semester of school. I've been here 4 1/2 months! I can't believe how quickly it's gone by (and how behind I am in so many of my classes!!). Tomorrow is a workday and we will spend it putting in grades, getting report cards ready, and planning for next semester. Then I'm off to India for 2 weeks!! I'm super excited, although there is lots to do! Don't expect an update from me while I'm there, because more than likely I won't have access to internet, but I will post pictures and stories as soon as I get back :)
