My Joy comes in the Morning....

Hello everyone! I hope ya'll are doing so wonderful! I am doing pretty good today! I love how I can wake up on a Saturday to the sun shining and a new fresh start. That is something that I have found here each and every day. Regardless of rain or shine tomorrow is a new day, a new and fresh start. Some days seem so challenging and maybe it seems like a break will never come! But the reality is that tomorrow is a brand new day and I can have joy because my Jesus loves me and he will always be there by my side. I am SO thankful for each morning.    :)

At the preschool we have been very, very, very busy! With the other students we have begun the process of reading. In spanish we have to teach the young children how read a little differently than children who learn English. The younger children are reviewing and now learning the alphabet. We review numbers and vowels even though most of them have memorized them.

Just last Thursday we had eye check-ups for each child at the church. Most every child had perfect eyes and did so well on there exams. Only one little girl had an infection in her eyes and I am so thankful she had the opportunity to see a doctor. I thought something might be wrong but her eyes were not constantly red. If she had not seen a doctor, I am sure the infection would have become a lot worse. PRAISE THE LORD for open doors. It was almost a $1.50 for each exam and I knew that if the school payed for it, then the parents would take this opportunity! All the parents were happy to know that their children have healthy eyes!

Hopefully I will learn how to put up some pictures very soon! :)
Keep praying if you have been! I really appreciate it!

God is good and HE is at work here in Guatemala! I see in the faces of each child as they come in with a smile and leave waving so energetically, screaming, "SEE YOU TOMORROW TEACHER!" They really love attending school and love learning about numbers, letters, songs, the months, Jesus, and simply soak up all the attention we give them. They are so precious......I am so passionate about sharing the love of Jesus and being his hands and feet...serving. It is so beautiful...
