ups and downs
This past week had a lot of ups and downs in it. Classes were pretty trying at times, and I had to deal with a few more instances of cheating in two of my classes. The students just don't think that I will actually catch on to their little tricks. So I got pretty mad at one of my classes and threatened to suspend them all... and now they are behaving a little bit better. But seriously, the students just don't seem to learn.Friday night we went out to this really nice Mexican steak place with some of the other teachers from school. It ended up being Brian, Jason and I with four other middle-aged, single women. They are all really great, but it was a little awkard anyway. The food at this place is amazing- seriously some of the best steak I have ever had. You all should come visit me just so you can eat at this place.
Saturday we invited Limber, one of our guards, to come to church with us. We had asked him once before and he wasn't able to go, but this time he assured us that he would be there. So Sunday morning we went to church and waited around for him, but he still hadn't shown up 30 minutes into the service. So we decided to just go in. Then at the end of the service, the pastor gave an altar call and Limber came from the back of the church and accepted Christ! We had been talking to him a lot and lots of people had been praying for him. So I wasn't really suprised when the Lord worked in his life this morning. Glory to Christ!

The art of teaching is not just delivering information, it the art of inspiring a hunger for learning. Try to keep your sense of humor and make it fun, if at all possible. And don't worry so much about cheating. Sometimes the effort of cheating is itself a learning experience. Who hasn't worked hard on a cheat sheet only to discover that it wasn't needed after all? What is your real goal in Honduras? Is it to catch children cheating? Don't lose sight of the purpose that brought you to Honduras.
