PE Teacher???...

Our PE teacher at the Learning Center is helping out as a sponsor on the senior trip. While she's away, I was asked to help out with a few of the classes. Today, I worked with the 4th graders and tomorrow, I'll be leading the 3rd graders in PE. It was fun to work with the younger kids and they seemed to have a great time. We did our stretching and running and then practice our Frisbee skills... I'm also helping with the high school "weights and conditioning" classes the rest of the week... Just never know what's on the agenda...

Senior Trip...

The seniors are away this week on their senior trip. They stayed together in a local hotel last night and are headed to Tarija in southern Bolivia this afternoon. Please pray with me that they would not only have a safe trip, but that it will be a great time together as they are approaching their graduation in less than 2 months.

Hanging out on Friday night...

One of our sophomores, Danny Canaviri, wanted to invite the Freshman guys out for an evening to hang out. What an awesome idea. After their track meet on Friday, Danny and 10 of the ninth graders came over for pizza. Then we went carting before returning to play video games and hang out for a while. They seemed to really have a great time and I enjoyed being a part of their fellowship and fun together. I believe God really uses these times to build friendships and trust for future ministry and discipleship... What a blessing to have a student take an interest in his younger peers!

Prayer Letter in the Mail...

Well, it's almost in the mail. Hopefully by tomorrow.

Life continues to keep me busy. We've had great Bible studies and follow up times with the youth since our camps last month. God has been working in some young lives and it's been fun to watch.

Accountability times with the young men I'm meeting with have been going well. I believe that God is using these times to really challenge them in their walk with Him.

Easter break from school was nice and I've tried to use the time to spend with some of the youth and other missionary families. It was a great time of rest, but also a great time to sharing and challenging others. God also used the time to challenge me through Max Lucado's book, Six Hours One Friday. It was a good reminder during the Holy Week celebration.
