I am an official resident of Honduras! This morning we went down to the immigration office and filled out the paperwork.
I need more Saturdays in my week. This weekend I made salsa and then graded papers all afternoon with my roommates. Oh, and of course got to sleep in!
This past week flew by, ending with a school-wide celebration of the Honduran Independence Day. On Friday the school day started with a small parade of pre-kinder and kinder students wore costumes from fruit and animals to traditional Honduran dress. It was adorable! It was then followed by an assembly. Then all afternoon students set up presentations about the different departments or states in Honduras, which was great because many of them included tasty food!
After school I again helped with the Alive program. I am co-leading the small group time for 9th and 10th grade girls. I am looking forward to seeing how God will work this year through Alive.
The other day, the other music teacher comes into my room and says, "I found something in my filing cabinet." Me, "oh?" Susie, "A big spider." So of course I went to check it out. This was not just a big spider. It was brown and hairy and ginormeous. Come to find out, it was tarantula. Gross. It is now one of the 5th grade classes' pet.
I keep praying that God would do a loaves-and-fishes miracle with my band instruments. My heart drops to my toes when I have to say, no, I don't have any more flutes or trumpets I can lend out. Sigh.But today (Tues) God answered that prayer in a small way. I had one mom, who works in the high school office, ask me last week if I had a flute her 5th grade daughter could borrow, so I checked my lists, and rechecked them and had to tell her no, I don't have any available. She was disappointed and said she wasn't sure what to do because she wasn't sure they had the money to buy a new one. This morning when I walked in my room, I saw one of my flutes with a name of a girl who had just switched to orchestra. I ran to the secretary and excitedly told her I now have an available flute..."Thanks be to God," she said.
I was excited about the "I spy" this morning of finding a flute for my secretary's daughter.
God is good.
