This week will be finals for high school and my last week of teaching 5th grade. I am a little sad that I will be leaving them. Next quarter I will be teaching 4 high school courses: 7th grade science, 9th grade English, 9th grade geography, and 10th grade history. I am excited about the change, and yet aprehensive because I will need a lot of preparation time.
My students are doing well, and the Lord has given me many, many opportunities to disciple them and encourage them in their walk with the Lord. I have several students who do not profess to be saved, and even more students who come from non-Christian families. Please pray that the Holy Spirit of God would work mightily in the lives of these Peruvians. I am praying also for the country of Peru as a whole. Catholicism and cultic religions are very strong here. Peruvians are proud of their Catholic heritage and ways. However, they are thirsty for the truth, and I am praying my students will help to turn this country completely around for Christ.
On that note, once again, please pray for Fiestas Patrias! This year's program has a message, which is timely and cuts to the heart. Please pray we can pull it together in these 2 weeks. We have to practice much and work very hard to see it through to the end. It will be impossible without a miracle from the Lord. Please pray the power of the Lord would be upon our efforts and on the message of the program!
El Manantial Baptist Church is doing well, and we are looking forward to starting construction on our building later this year, Lord willing.
I am doing well. Last night I felt very sick and thought my body was going to clear itself of everything inside because of something I ate. I prayed and asked the Lord if He would keep me from having that sickness, and He kept me from having it! I praise His name.
I have seen many prayers answered. He is so good to me. He gives me amazing grace every single day.
This is Lima Plaza at night. It is very pretty at night will all the lights!
The parents of the school treated all the teachers to a dinner at Pardo's downtown in the center of Lima. It was my first time downtown. It was very fun! This particular Pardo's is owned by the parents of one of our students.
Sully and Sonia (teach Peruvian history and Spanish)
Mr. and Mrs. Valdivia (teach computer and Peruvian history and Spanish)
In addition to treating us to dinner, the students and parents gave us small backpacks with the LMCS logo!

These were great photos! I taught elementary school for 3 years and thought I would never like high school. Once I started teaching high school I loved it and stuck with it for 25 more years. I enjoyed relearning (it is different as a teacher than when I was a student) a lot of the material with the students. It sounds like you have a wonderful group to work with.
