New address, same ol blog

Hey everybody,
Thanks for still reading.
The lady I wrote about in the last entry. Last time Beto went over to pray she was sitting up in her bed eating.
This past week has been really busy for us, and beto hasn´t even started the school year yet! Where he teaches Bible at the high school starts in Feb. and ends in Nov.
Beto has started to sell strawberries for a farmer friend here and is starting to grow his clientel. I´ve also been contracted to make bread for a business in town so we´re making a little extra money which all goes to my school loans. yeah!

Last WEd. was the last day of the 2nd period in my school, so thursday we just had a half day of activities and went home at 12 and Friday we didn´t have class, but most of the time i was grading notebooks, entering grades and putting them on report cards. I´m still not done since I left some notebooks at the school on accident. I have one child failing all my classes and those of the other teachers, and some other students failing one class, which means more work for me...I have to write a letter to the parents, make a study guide, make a test, give two days of tutoring after school and then give the test one day after school. Please pray for the one girl especially who´s failing all her classes. I see she has no home support, her mom is illiterate in spanish and her dad is gone a lot as a truck driver. It will take a miracle really for her to pass this year.

Today we´re having the new missionaries over for dinner. They have been here since 1990 really but were in the states for 2 years on furlough and getting their counseling degrees. the other missionaries that were here meatntime have moved to another part of honduras. When one of my apartment-complex-mates met the new ones she said, ¨Le´t´s invite them over for dinner. I´d like to get to know them!¨ We were very happy about that becuase she is not a Christian and pretty passionate about what she does believe. So tonight it´s potluck. please pray for our conversation and that through this new relationship she and the others in our complex will come to know Jesus this year before they go back to the states.

Finally, please pray for me in my job decision. In about a week my school will need an answer from me about whether i´m staying next school year or not. I am definately staying but an opportunity has opened up for me to teach only Bible classes at the same school next year. That is what I came to do initially and would really like to do that. pLease pray it works out and the school is open to letting me do that. Having taught English and seeing that English teachers are most difficult to get for first grade, they may not want to let me go.

Gracias y bendiciones!
