We had a half day today. When school was let out I went to the school my friends teach at for the afternoon. I met with Jen first and got to see her class. Then I spent last period with Nichole and her class. All her students were foreigners, no one was Korean. There were two students from Thailand, two from Saudi Arabia, one from Spain, one from Brazil, one from Angola, and one from Latvia.
I shared with them about myself and where I come from and they with me. Then we all played 'Skip-Bo' It was just the coolest moment and experience ever. To have so many different places represented in the same room. Plus, the two from Saudi Arabia where the girls mentioned at church on Sunday. All I can say is Praise the Lord. I think of Matthew 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations....
I then went to the basketball game, Jen is the cheer coach and I went to support and give some advice. Wow, I didn't realize how much I missed this.
After, I went to dinner with her and a few of the other teachers. It was just really nice to be in fellowship and to be with a staff that cared about one another. It reminded me of what I long for with my own staff, and what I had last year. But, I can only be me and I don't have the power to change the hearts of those I work with, only God can. However, I will definitely seize the moments God places before me to experience what I long for here. As well as be reminded of how good I had it last year and can only hope and pray I get to go back to when my time here is done.
