SCHOOL TIME!

I am here at Morning Star Christian Academy. I am finally able to start settling in. I arrived here this morning around eight and teacher training started right away. I am co-teaching fifth grade with a young man named Johnny. He was a teacher here last year and then a student here before that for 10 years. He is proof of how good this school is. I was kind of panicky at first today because I had no idea what I was doing. I was taken out of the ER and thrown into a classroom! WOW what an experience. As the day went on though I began to get more comfortable. I actually made two bulletin boards and got a lot of decorating done in my class. The whole time I was trying to remember what it was like to be in fifth grade. I think this year is going to be the most amazing adventure that I've ever had in my whole life.
I just talked to my parents and although we did not have a perfect connect we were able to communicate. That was very nice.
I went out yesterday evening with one of my friends. We walked all over the place and I got to go to a Haitian Cinema and get ice cream at a convenience store. At the Cinema I saw that the movie "Hancock" was "coming soon" This was funny to me as in America this movie came out quite awhile ago. I suggested it to my friend and we might go back and see it in a couple weeks. It would be fun to see it again, but in French.
Please keep me in your prayers as I start school next monday. Please pray too for me as I am making some important decisions too as I go along.
I AM SO EXCITED RIGHT NOW AND WOW! THIS IS AMAZING> God is teaching me so much too.
Love always

this is you-know-who
I think that you are a brave woman for leaving the comforts of home to share the light of OUR Lord that is burning brightly in you.
May God our Father and Jesus our Brother and the Holy Ghost our guide continue to keep you in perfect peace.
I wanted to know how your first week of classes went.

Glad you survived that German hurricane.
Looks like you have nice digs, with hot and cold running water and FLUSH toilet!!!
Good luck teaching.
It's been busy as all getout since you've been gone, and I miss your wonderful attitude.
