Mini Update!

As most of you read in our last email... We attended the Pakistan National Day Reception at the Ambassador's house last Friday. It went Great! We were rubbing shoulders with Dignitaries and Diplomats... Unbelievable! We were so thankful to be invited! The ambassador's kids go to our school, as well as Several kids from Pakistan. We get to take Christ to places you can't imagine!! The Pakistani's were so gracious to make sure that we were all ok, and had plenty to eat and drink.

Also... We went to another Smash Meeting (Jr High and Sr High) this past Thursday, and it went Great! We are really loving those kids and getting to know them better! For any of you that know us... this is a little out of our comfort zone, but we really felt God leading us to these kids and to maturing our level of Discipleship! (K-3rd grade think everything you do is great!!) :) :) They are planning a Retreat in May, that we plan to help with and attend!!

Caleb is still doing so great! He loves his little friends at school, and is best buds with Nicolaus, the Pastor's son! We come home at a little before 2pm, for naps... (and yes, I let Caleb get one too!! :) :) :)

School is going great! Chris is super busy with Making Budgets! He is given a new scenario everyday to work on!! I'm still loving my kids and teaching! I'm dealing with what every teacher does, and that's that I can't stand for them to make bad grades... It hurts me!

Please pray for our impact at the school and in the community! We are getting very involved with the church, as well! I am directing the Easter Drama for the Jr High and Sr High for Easter!! Please pray that also goes well, and that Christ is displayed for the many Brazilian's, and other visitors that may not know English, that they can still "SEE" the message of the Resurrection!!

Also, I am having the Jr High and Sr High Girls over Friday night for a sleepover! Please pray that it goes well, and the lives could be impacted!! These are girls that don't usually go to outside functions, and do not attend our youth group!

Thank you so much for your support and love!! We are in awe at how God is using us, and how Wonderfully HE has placed us here at just the RIGHT Time! He is so Masterful at HIS plan... He's got this Whole Thing!!

God Bless You Today!!!!

Big Shoes to Fill... But PANTS???

I promise you... WE DO NOT SET THESE THINGS UP!!!

Here's Caleb and his Sillyness! :)

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Yesterday was my Birthday! I had a great day! Some of my kids got me presents and cards! It was so sweet! Then last night all the staff went out for MEXICAN FOOD!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!

It wasn't like in the States, but close enough to count!! We can't find Tortilla chips here, but they had tortilla fried... that WERE CLOSE ENOUGH FOR ME!! No Cheese dip, but they did have Salsa! We had a great time! Here are a few pics of the night!!

Della Has Cousins!!!

Today, Chris was walking down the driveway from the mailbox, and happened to look up. Can you see them?

Look Closer...

Even Closer...

Do you seen them????????

Two Sweet Little Kitties resting under the eve of our roof!!!

Aren't they Cute!!! I know... I know... Don't feed the animals...

But look how sweet and innocent and cute they are!!! And THEY SPEAK PORTUGUESE!!

We can hollar "Kitty, Kitty" to them all day, and they ignore us...

But if you Hollar "Gato, Gato" they look quickly! Of course, we aren't thinking of taming them or anything... but nice to have some little furry friends!

International Fair

We had our Big International Fair last Friday! It went so well!! So Amazing to see so many cultures and families on one campus. The classes were all separated into different Continents, and each kid had to present on a Specific Country. The parents then came in FULL Home Country Outfits and brought Food from their home country! It was so neat! Chris and Daniel were the Passport Agents! Each parent had a passport that they would get stamped at each of the 3 places they attended. There were six total groups, but because of time, and to limit chaos they had everybody just go to three (pre-picked) areas. It was done VERY well!!

Here is a picture of me with my 2 girls in my Algebra class, Nida and Eunice. And Nida's mom. They are two great girls!! Of course, I love all my kids!!

I'm going to post a larger post soon! Thank you for your support and love!!!

The Brazilian Bunch!

Great Week!

It's been a really great week here! This past weekend it was so Hot, that we actually got 5 loads of laundry done! That's huge!! It usually takes 2 days for one load to dry on line. But we got hang them outside, and even got to wash sheets and sleep on them the same day!!!

We also got to lay out by the pool for a while as well. It was quite relaxing. Chris and I were funny about it... we called it WAVES. When the sun would come out it would be so hot, then we'd get relief from the clouds. It was great! We timed the WAVES so that we would not burn too bad. I'm posting a couple of cute pics.

Behold... Could that be... TAN coming up on Chris?!?!?!? Amazing things are happening all the way around!! :)

Can't get any cute than this!!

Much Love!
