Last Day of School

Yesterday was the last day of school. It was a perfect day. Once again I was blessed and encouraged beyond words by the parents and students. They have been so sweet and supportive since finding out about my move to Africa. At every turn they have done something to bless my trip...from donating items to buying me a bicycle in a box (it had to be in a box and they found a really nice one...thanks Stacy and John) to giving financially to writing encouraging notes. There has been an outpouring of blessing from the 5th grade families. I have been grateful for their love and support...it has been a constant source of encouragement.

It was an emotional day saying good-bye. The Lord blessed me this year with a memorable group. They were so much fun...but as I think about my years of teaching there have been so many memories from each class...so much fun...all four years at Mission Hills and the 13 years of teaching at other schools.
I love teaching...I love the kids...I love the joy in doing what God has called me to do.
