After a month, two weeks and four days, it is about time to wave goodbye to the beautiful faces in Nicaragua. As my heart will be shattering for the many needs these people have and precocious memories I have; I know that God is turning the page. To my wonderful family and amazing boyfriend I am looking forward to exchanging the stories and seeing how God has worked!
However, I know that God has a purpose for these next few days here. I had a wonderful time teaching grades first through six. I really enjoyed working with each of the sisters. God has a sense of humor. (Many of those close to me know my nun stories and now I have worked with them). I learned many things this summer, but the sisters have exemplified true servanthood. Their humbleness and willingness to help others radiates for all to see.
Thursday was my last and final day with every student and it will forever have an imprint on my heart. I received many special gifts. As I said my final goodbyes to the classes, tears began to stream. I grew very close to the fifth graders imparticular.
I taught each of the grades on different days, but had the opportunity to work with fifth graders everyday! Each of the kids had their own personalities and it was neat seeing the best of them. I have discovered that ! Hopefully the kids left knowing much more in English than when we began. I started working with the students at beginning levels and when I left the students were making sentences! Language is a long process. Over a month and a half I think I learned as much Spanish as my student’s learned English!
I am sorry that we haven’t had the opportunity to update more, but I am thinking and praying for everyone and have many exotic stories to tell! I can’t wait to show everyone the pictures of our neighbor’s pet monkey, the snake that was captured, and the flat tire experiences! God is So good and thank you for your prayers. Please continue to think and pray for us!
