Dear Friends and Family,

October can be a challenging time for teachers transitioning over seas (three months into the new). Jeremy and I are grateful to declare that God gave us the faith and energy to outlast October.

There has been PSAT testing for 9-11 grade students, holiday breaks (not for Halloween), discipleship retreats, professional development, completion of foundational repairs, work visas granted, visits to Safari parks and more.

God provided opportunities to discuss faith with a guard at the Safari Park, a new Mom at the AISA conference, and a new friend at an AI Summit.

Jeremy and I have both been called upon to hold a peer accountable in this season and we praise God that those souls are being receptive to this invitation to grow in their professionalism.

Jeremy’s team recently completed their annual audit of the school’s finances. While the experience required a lot of digging the impact will be useful as the school moves forward. It also provided an opportunity for Jeremy to show appreciation to his hard working team with a lunch away from campus.

During one weekend, Courtney lost her voice completely. It is back now (Jeremy may not be sure if that is a prayer or a praise 😉). We also got to host a successful PD that worked on team building and effective positive feedback!

Praises:

• Opportunities to share faith in the community
• Financial support to help pay US bills (storage, RV, etc)
• Completed Audit and PSAT testing
• Completed foundational repairs to our school’s athletic courts
• Return of Courtney’s voice
• Screens installed on windows so Courtney stops getting mosquito bites

Prayers:

• More opportunities to share our faith with our community – our church here (Karen Vineyard Church) has a big outreach coming up: Carols by Candlelight but may have to cancel if they cannot raise the support needed for the event. They hosted 2,000 souls last year.
• Financial wisdom and opportunities to keep WNS growing and thriving
• Sale of the RV, raising funds to come home this summer.
• Perseverance for Jeremy as he continues to expand his skill set.
• Always, the salvation of our sons.
