our countries

Currently, our school has 242 students enrolled.  It's the most the school has ever had in their 25 years of being a school!  It's truly amazing how God has blessed us this year.  We are bursting at the seams.  We have students from all of these countries:
Someone calculated that we have 1/4 of the world's nations represented at our school!

I have 20 students this year.  Many of these students are beginners, which are some of the most challenging classes, but also classes where the most growth can be seen.  You'll see some pictures of my students below.  Three aren't in the pictures, because they came after I took these.  Guess you'll have to wait to see them.  Second through fifth grade are split up into different English leveled classes, which is why I have two pictures of some of the same grades.

Please pray for me to have creativity in teaching them.  Pray for these students to learn quickly and not get discouraged.  And most importantly, pray that each one of them learns how God is and accepts Him as their Savior.

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally.  Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home.  ... I could teach some German. But when?   ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep. I kept thinking about the refugees and how t...
