Another week over and another short week on the horizon. Friday is another holiday... I really don't know what holiday it is or why, but I have one less day to plan for, so I'm okay with it! The month of October is going to go quickly--we have 3 long weekends!
Friday was our first Parent-Teacher conference. I survived. Okay, better than that--I enjoyed meeting my students' parents! Some of my kids are miniatures of their parents. Haha. I'm sure my positive experience was due to my co-teacher Emily: the parents already love her from last year, so the pressure was off me. We had a translator with us, but most of the parents spoke English, which explains why our kids are so fluent.
Heidi got her violin in the mail this weekend. Friday night we brought out all our instruments and played song after song after song for worship. It was the most beautiful thing I've heard since I've been here. I played around on the violin on Sunday--I haven't played in a long time, but Heidi's going to teach me how to play with a praise band! :D
Back to school. I'm afraid my first Math class this morning lacked a little energy, but at least they understood the concepts, right? If only Cristian would stop distracting Eduardo, life would be perfect. :D
As hard as it is, I wouldn't want it any other way. I can't shake the feeling that I'm supposed to be here, that God prepared this position with me in mind. It fits.
I know I'm going to have to hold on to that. November is going to be a loooonnng month.
