Well, i figured it'd been awhile since i've written a blog on here :) It's been pretty crazy busy, and i was trying to get my newsletter out. Which, by the way, if you read this, and do not get my newsletter let me know because that will recap the month for you! Comment on here if you need my email addy, also.
I am now finished with my 3 weeks of substitute teaching for the 5th/6th grade, and all Bible classes 5th grade through 12th grade. The whole teaching thing was quite the experience for me ...the "non-teacher." :) I had to decorate my room, come up with 3 different Bible cirriculums and figure out how to do the whole lesson plan thing...crazy :) I'm glad there's people out there who thrive on doing that stuff. It's not that i didn't enjoy my time teaching...i did! But it was because of being able to be with the kids all day :) I'm glad there are those of you who throughly enjoy all of it and have the creativity and patience! Blessings on you! I do enjoy subbing though.
The ranch will soon have 3 or 4 more little munchkins runnin' around...that's right, we are expanding our Ranch Family, and taking in a few more kids! YAY!!!! I cannot wait till they get here...we are just waiting on paperwork and details like that! I've gotten to meet them and they are stinken CUTE! Once they get here, i will be helping out in the kindergarten, as one of the new girls will only know spanish, so i will be working with her, and helping her in learning her english, and helping out wherever else is needed in the room.
Right now I am in the house of 5 boys that i relief parent for every month. This month i am here for an extended stay of 8 days, to give the house-parents an extended time off. I will be tired at the end as the boys are VERY hyper, but i love them all and it will be a great stay. (ages range from 3-12).
So hurricane dean never hit us head on (thank you Jesus). It was very near us though. It makes you really realize that God is in control of all...whether or not it hit us was God's decision...and i am thankful that we could be at peace with that!
I continue to go to 2 churches every sunday...one spanish and one english. And love them both! I have slowly been able to meet more people my age so that when i go to church, i have been able to fellowship with them too, which has been so great and so refreshing!
Okay...ciao for now....leave comments....oh yeah..by the way....the flies are getting a little better :)
