The rain continued last night leading to a lazy Sunday. A few of us education majors went with the other two MVNU groups to church in San Ignacio. My school is in San Ignacio and I was hoping to see some of my students there. Unfortunately, I didn't see any of my students while I was there. The service was nice and the message was one that I needed to hear. An after church lunch of BBQ chicken was a delicious way to transition into a sweet midafternoon nap. The afternoon was filled with lesson planning for most of us. The other two MVNU groups staying at the campgrounds with us left after lunch for a week in the southern part of the country. It has been strangely quiet without the other 25 students here. We had PIZZA for dinner, I think it was the highlight of everyone's day. It will be a long night of preparing for lessons and hanging out. Today was a much needed day of rest.
I have found myself wishing away this next week. Next Sunday we will be leaving for Caye Caulker and we are all really excited about it! This week also brings a lot of stress as we are being observed and graded on the lessons that we are teaching. I know this next week in the classroom will be an amazing one that I know I will want to relive. I am praying for patience and to just enjoy the moment, not rushing ahead and thinking too much about the future.
Prayers for all of us are very appreciated this next week as we pour out our hearts into our classroom. We all send our love home!
Do the children have a nickname for you yet? Have fun reading to the kids. In the words of the great poet, Bobby McFerrin, "Don't Worry Be Happy." If you imagine me singing it, it will be even better.
ReplyDeleteThey just call me Miss Marjorie, but we have been called "gringas". Haha, I can only imagine! :)
