As the students were studying for their science test, one student wrote this explanation for why cold water is more dense than hot water:

The cold molecules cuddle together. That is why cold water is more dense.

The World Has Turned Upside-down

by


It’s true. Something strange has indeed happened. I am now the Assistant Coach for our middle school girls’ basketball team. Yikes! I don’t know if my dad is going to be proud or very, very afraid for the world of basketball. As for me, I just think it means the world is a little topsy-turvy.

I’m excited, though, to try this new area of ministry. The girls are all very sweet. One of the great benefits is that I’m getting to spend time with some of the students who have moved on from elementary. I miss them when they head upstairs to the middle school!

The other really exciting part is that I get to spend some extra time with my dear friend Anne who is leaving at the end of this year to head back to the States. She is the head coach, and it’s out of love for her that I agreed to take on this little challenge.

Please feel free to pray for all of us. 🙂

Answered Prayer

Praise God! We have a new elementary principal for next year. This has been a huge area of prayer for all of us as we have been “borrowing” the secondary principal this year. We are all so excited and so thankful for John Janett and his desire to serve here with us. Thank you so much to all of you who have been praying with us. God is good!

A Most Creative Book Report

by

Today one of the students presented what was possibly the most creative book report I’ve ever seen. She and her mom baked and decorated sugar cookies to look like all of the characters from her book as well as a variety of other cookies to represent the setting and other important elements from the story. She used these cookies like you would use flannel pieces on a flannel board to share her summary of the book. The rest of class loved her book report because when she was finished sharing, they got to eat her work! Super fun!
