Sorry it has been a long time since I updated the blog but I went to a mission's meeting, started school, and I have no internet. My class this year is great. They are all ESL (English as a Second Language). I have 6 students. (4 boys and 2 girls) One of my students lived in the US for about a year, so he actually speaks English very well. I am learning a lot of Portuguese just because my students don't speak English yet. They are learning English fast though.
I also went to the beach for a week for a mission's meeting. It was good to see and to meet my new friends. I learned a lot and I even got to worship the Lord in English. I miss being able to worship the Lord in English! However, as I progress in Portuguese, it is becoming more natural! Praise the Lord!
It has also been a blessing to go back to Saturday evening church services because my church cancelled it for the month of July. July is a vacation month for Brazilians.
Here are few prayer requests:
- Please pray for my decision for extending my term (as a volunteer to finish out the school year)
- My students ability to learn English
- My students spiritual, academic, emotional, and social growth
- That I might be effective witness for Christ inside the classroom as well as outside the classroom
- Physical strength to finish my term strong!
Thank-you for your continued support and your prayers!!
Lord, thank-you for being so faithful and teaching me so much about my self!!!
Great is Thy Faithfulness!!
