Week One!

It has already been almost two weeks that I have been here! The first week of school is complete! These 12 days have gone by like a whirlwind, and I have a feeling this is just the beginning. Classes in the school are from 8:00-2:00 - the teachers have devotions together at 7:30. I spend the first 2 1/2 hours with the Secondary School, 2 1/2 hours with the High School, and 30 minutes with Pre-School and younger. I am finding that not only do I need to learn Spanish, but I also need to brush up on my English grammar! I also have the opportunity to have a devotional time with four of the High School girls in the school on Mondays, while their parents are in a marriage class. They are very nice girls, and I am looking forward to being able to spend more time with them. God has been teaching me so much already and it would be hard to tell everything in one blog post like this. I am so blessed to have this chance to have God and service as my sole focus. I had a conversation someone today who was wondering what events led me here and why I was able to be here. I told the very long story in a nutshell, and was once again reminded of how amazing it was that God orchestrated all the events in my life to lead me to Mexico for this time. I don't know what God has for me in the future, or even exactly why He has me here for this time - I just know that He wants me HERE! And there is awesome peace in knowing that I am in the center of His will!
I appreciate your continued prayers - for my time in the classroom that I would be able to communicate well with the students and give them the information they need, for the ability to learn Spanish QUICKLY :-), and for my devotional times with the girls on Mondays. Also, please pray for wisdom concerning returning for the Spring semester. There are many things that will factor into this decision, the most important one being finances. I wish to be a wise steward of what God has given me and in order to return in the Spring semester I want to be sure that I have the resources to do so.
God bless you all, have a wonderful week!
