i know . . .

so, i realize that it's been a while since i've updated. i had kinda figured that our email update would save us. however, i realized that it's not fair for me to get sad when people go a week without updating when i go more than two months! so, here's my attempt . . .

i don't think there's a lot to say about june . . . it was a busy month of teaching, coaching, bible studies, etc. we finished reading the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe in my english class, and a lot of the kids really liked it. some even went on to finish the whole series of Narnia, which we have in the school library! i was very proud. we have so far studied eve and sarah in our 11th grade bible study, and are moving on to rahab on monday. we have a small group, but they really enjoy it, and talk lots!! the 7th and 8th grade study has been going strong, still talking about who Christ says we are vs. what the world tries to tell us. we are going to be having a sleepover with that group on aug 3rd, please pray for our sanity! no really, pray that it would be a time of fellowship and getting to know the girls better.

july has been a very nice month so far! we started the month with two weeks of vacation (comparable to Christmas vacation without Christmas . . .) it was so nice not to do anything that first week. we were actually able to catch up on sleep and school work. the second week, we had bryan's mom and dad as visitors! it was so great to see them! we were able to show them our life here (minus the students) and then take a nice trip to the beach. it was absolutely beautiful!!



we are now back in school, although we have a lot of random holidays and days off! please pray that we would finish this trimester strong (end of august) and that we would be constant witnesses of God's love. thanks for your support - we miss you all!!
