Hey everybody. Sorry, I haven't been too faithful in writing weekly posts this summer. I just finished the first week of school. I'm teaching 6th grade math, advanced 8th grade math, Algebra 2, Geometry, and AP Statistics. It's quite a load, but I love it. I would like you to please pray for the spiritual battle raging here. I won't mention too much detail on the internet, but there is a huge visa issue here with other SIL members (PTL teacher visas are ok). About 30 families, including all of our admin, might not get their visas renewed in the next few months and extension options are becoming more difficult as well. Please pray for this situation because it also involves many of my students who are unsure how long they will be here. In addition, our kindergarten teacher and HS principal will not be here for at least the first semester because they both have cancer and are seeking treatment in the States. Thank you for your prayers. I will keep you updated as things progress.
