Spiritual Emphasis Week update! Betsy Phillips, a WGM missionary who formerly served in Bolivia with her family, came down and spent last week with the elementary students. (Betsy and her family were serving in Honduras when my family went down for the first time in 2000. It was fun to reconnect with her!) She shared about “The Kingdom.” Staying with the topic, she shared who the King is, where the Kingdom is located, the Armor of God, and how to be an Ambassador for Christ. The students are still talking about what they learned a week later, which is encouraging. Thank you for your prayers throughout the week. Please keep praying that the seeds that were planted would take root, and we would see heart changes in the last remaining weeks of the school year.
Being a teacher is an honor and privilege, but it can be really difficult at times. Right now is one of those times. Unfortunately, many of my fifth graders are not making wise choices, which have resulted in some stressful decision making on my part, along with the administrators. However, these instances have also led to some good conversations with my students. I ask that you would please help me pray for my students, the administrators, the parents, and myself. As we are coming down to the end of the school year, the students are getting more and more anxious. We still have a lot of ground to cover before May 31st, and I pray that the students will be able to maintain their focus and motivation to finish their year well. Even more so though, I pray that my students would make decisions that honor God in all that they say and do.
