The children were able to carve pumkins for the first time in their lives. They quite enjoyed the experience, and we also baked the pumpkin seeds and ate them! The pumpkins went home to Mizael's family and Kioney and Saul's family. Mizael decided to sleep with his pumpkin the first night. Jennifer found a poem that related a pumpkin to a Christian who God had cleaned out and put a light into for all the world to see! She translated it into spanish and sent it home with each family. How amazing that every aspect of God's creation really does declare His Gospel!
Chemistry day was also so much fun! We went to San Juan for a special day of seeing different experiments using the elements of the Periodic Table. Also, different colleges from the area were being represented by their school mascot, so we gathered for a group picture with some of the animals!
The children have recently gotten into Dr. Suess' "Green Eggs and Ham." And last Wednesday, we actually had green eggs for lunch! Amazing what food coloring can do! HA!
One of the best surprises thus far, was my mom and brother coming to visit me for a week! Mom and Shawn were required to learn and then lead one of the songs that we sing for chapel on Friday, and they did a fabulous job! We were able to go to the rain forest, Old San Juan (and the fort there built in the 1800's), plus just be able to enjoy some very much missed family time!
Thanks to all those who are keeping me and the staff here in your prayers! Here are some things that you can keep in prayer:
~The general health of the teachers and students
~Wisdom in working one on one with different students
~The families of the students
~Opportunities coming up for the school bell chior to minister in the community
Thanks again! And God bless
