Light at the end of the Tunnel

It's official! Our last day of teaching is June 23rd. So I've only got five weeks left. So I will probably be home before July.
Brenda had this awesome idea for the last few weeks of school. We both agreed that we'd like to assess them in some way, and give them some kind of final exam. So we have it all planned out for the rest of our time here! This week we are going to get them into teams, and they have to come up with an idea for a team presentation. Every one is required to participate. So the next 2 weeks they will be creating a performance to be done in English, and we'll grade them as a team. Two weeks after that will be spent in performances. Hopefully they won't find out that this doesn't count in their final grades, otherwise they won't take it seriously. I really want them to work at this and do their best. I wish our English class counted for something in that regard.
The last week will be spent in saying goodbyes, taking pictures, maybe playing a game. I am still trying to think of something that I can do for them. It's not easy when there's 1,000 students to consider.

Yesterday Arthur, Anna, Brenda and I went to the beach. It's about an hour away by bus. The day before was so nice, but this day was really windy and a little rainy. So it wasn't great for swimming. But it was nice to just relax at the beach and hear the waves roll in. Since the weather wasn't great the beach wasn't crowded, nice and quiet. I bought a cool shell from a shopkeeper. I put it in my fish tank, and my fish really like it. It's big enough for them to hide under.

I've been weighing my choices of things I could do when I come home. And I've made a decision. I have decided to move to North Carolina. I feel the Lord calling me to once again get out of my comfort zone and look to him for securities. If I stayed home I could pretty much picture exactly how my life would be. I think a little unknown-ness is good for the spirit. Going to NCarolina I don't know what I'd do for work. I don't know anyone but Joe and Eva. I don't know how I'm going to get around (no car). There's always a bit of anxiety going into the unknow. But that's just a sign to trust Him more. I don't want to forget to trust Him. And when I'm too comfortable, I tend to do that. I love you all so much. At least in NCarolina I'll be on the same side of the planet!
