We have been so busy and without internet. Yesterday we went zip lining and cave tubing. Many held a tarantula and almost everyone ate termites!! Guess who didn't eat the termites!! Not me... they taste like carrots.

Leaving Friday March 3rd

I ask the Lake Campbell family and all of our other families and friends to pray for us to have safe travels, do do God's work joyfully, and grow into the people the Lord has planned for us to be.

I am so blessed to be able to return to San Jose Succotz for another year. I am so thankful to be a member of the Lake Campbell Lutheran Church and so very, very grateful for their financial support to the education programs at Alvin Young High School. I am also grateful for all of the prayers for safe travel and doing great works with the talents (?) Our Lord has bestowed on me.

Our experience at Victorious Nazarene Primary School is centered on the work we started last year. We are bringing LOADS of free reading books for classroom and school libraries. With the professional assistance of my sister, I am pleased to provide the training necessary to begin a Guided Reading program. I have 8 Dakota State University elementary education majors teaching in 8 different classrooms bringing expertise in the 5E methodology of teaching science. We have lessons on: the five senses, sound, light, human impact on earth (impact on sea turtles), to exothermic and endothermic reactions. They have worked very hard on all their lessons. This is going to be the best year yet!!
