School has started and man it has been going amazingly well. My classes are fun, cute, challenging, encouraging, and did I mention cute yet? haha.. So my kindergarten class does not have any native English speakers and until the past couple days none of them could say anything in English. So through out class I would be spoken to in Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and French.. But the kids are sooo Cute that I couldn't help but smile. (Sorry I can't post pictures, but yeah I can't post any of my students the whole confidentiality). The 2nd Grade class has been growing and growing and man they are just as cute as can be. It is the one age where I can do nothing wrong in their eyes. I mean I say "line up" and they jump for joy... haha If only my secondary students could be like that at some points.. haha So other than the heat everything is going amazingly well! when i say heat i mean i was burnt so bad that i was overheating, highs of 105 with the real feel of 117 yeah crazy like i said.
Volleyball Practice has also begun, I am again coaching the High School girls. I have coached many of them for 3 years, it has been such a great time watching them grow and continue to excel. This year is going to be a great one for the volleyball team, no joke! Oh and Also choir started and this is something I'm not so comfortable leading but G has been faithful in providing good songs and students who are great singers and willing to learn.. I am soo blessed!
Last Thursday - Saturday we had fall camp for our students. Fall camp is a time where we take our students out to rural area and just get to spend time with them and share the Good News with them. We also get to take them on different activites. One was repelling, I Love repelling, such a great analogy with how our faith is. Sometimes you just need to lean back and trust that G is there, you can't always see him but you CAN feel him. Just like we do when we repel, we can see what is below us or behind us but we can trust that the rope is there for us. Yes we have to keep ourselves in the correct posture but if we just let the rope be in our hands then it will guide us down the mountain. We have to keep God in our hands or I should say ALLOW him to hold us and he will guide us down any path.. YEAH its scary and it can be frightening but we MUST Trust to rope and those who have gone before us.. See they can do it, they made it safely , God promises to never leave us nor forsake us. isn't that great. And look at all of those who have gone before us, they made it and so can we!
Needless to say Fall camp was great not just for the students but also for me!
Last sunday after fellowship I went to Wuchang, about 2 hours away, to play badminton with some friends. It was uber fun, we played for about 3 hours : - ) Yeah I"m working on improving my serve, I can stay up with the competition during the play time but man my serve is 7/10 times TERRIBLE. After badminton we went to this All you can eat "Fish Hot Pot" So basically its a boiling pot of water and you can have endless fish and fish heads.. Along with endless vegetables all for 22 RMB (3.5 dollars) Man it was delicious, I love fish here. The only downfall was that i twas an extremely hot day so eating HOT POT was a little crazy, but I loved the fellowship with friends and the yummy fish.
Oh man I have so many stories I could tell I just don't want to bore you all too much : - )
Okay that is all for now, oh I have added some pictures from the NEW mall that just opened near us, 5 minutes by bike.. It is crazy nice, like a western mall there is even Air conditioning inside.. Okay enjoy.. I will try to be better and will hopefully blog on a more regular basis : - )
If God sends us on stony paths, He provides strong shoes (corrie ten boom)
