The end of March nears

Darling Readers,
Thanks for your prayers!! God has definitely been working amidst the Hungarian authorities because visas are being issued! Three teachers returned from the states this past week! We're still missing one and will be sending at least one more off tomorrow. We're not completely back to full strength, but God has provided for every position the school has needed covered. It is wonderful to be a part of this community and to witness God's hand at work.

My classes are going well. We're finishing up the novel- Huckleberry Finn- in 11th grade and the play- Antigone- in 9th. These units have gone over pretty well. But, I've got to admit, I have a lot to learn about teaching a novel. It's not as easy as I thought it would be. But, it challenged me to look beyond what I'm comfortable teaching. It has encouraged me to seek new ways to present material and keep the class involved.

This past weekend my roomates and I took a short trip to Krakow. We had a 4 day week because of the 1848 Hungarian Revolution, so the girls and I decided to drive to Poland. I'll post pictures and comments by the end of the week.

Upcoming events include:
  • Parent/Teacher Conferences- always a prayer request
  • ICEC Teacher Conference over Spring Break (we leave next Friday). I'm really excited about this opportunity to gather with Christian teachers from all over Europe in the central location of Kandern, Germany. I'll be seeing some girls I met at my EFCA conference again, and I'll be gaining insight into Christian education. This conference only happens once every 3 years so I am blessed to go this year.

Until the next time I have to write...may God bless you as you seek his will in order that you may glorify him to the greatest extent.

Sara Terry! I love that you have a blog now and so I can kind of stalk you. I miss you and ICSB and Hungary, etc, so much. Are you coming back for the summer?
