Well this update is going to be pretty boring since we have not really done a whole lot the last week. This whole past week we were off of school (mandatory week off by the Colombian government) and a lot of people go out of town. We had to work Monday - Wednesday at the school and get a lot of stuff done, but the students weren't there.
The second quarter starts this week and will end right before Christmas break.
We do have a few busy weekends coming up. My dad (Carl) is flying in Wednesday and will be here for 4 days, so we are going to try and expose him to some of the stuff in Colombia. The next weekend we have the teacher retreat and then on Halloween we are having a banquet with the high school.
We also have parent teacher conferences coming up as well so please pray that those go well.
Prayer requests:
The students at the school - the more we are down here the more we realize that in some ways this ministry to these students is even more important and a little tougher than we thought. Missionary kids, pastor kids and most of the other students in the school have a lot of issues that are very unique to their circumstances. There are a lot of identity issues and that can cause some spiritual immaturity.
Our health - Jackie is having some more pain with her kidneys and we are hoping that we can get some more medication. We are not sure if it still the kidney stone or something else. I have been struggling with migraines (debilitating ones that are taking me away from doing some of the things we wanted to do down here). It is discouraging and we just ask that God gives us the strength to get through.
Hope everyone is doing well back home!
