The past month has been been full of incredible meetings with great teachers at Colegio Hosanna Sur. Julie and I have had tremendous opportunities to encourage and equip teachers all while building relationships with the administration and the students. What a blessing it has been.
Today we had the opportunity to model a lesson for the Bible teacher. He teaches Pre-K all the way to 9th grade. Tyron admitted to us that he is terrified of teaching the younger kids and has avoided teaching those classes for the last month and a half. (This could only happen in Nicaragua... can you imagine if a teacher just didn't show up to your class for a month and a half??) As he shared his thoughts and fears we were able to give him some ideas and tools to help overcome them and enjoy teaching his elementary classes about the great God we serve. Tyron was so thankful for God's answer to his prayers for help in this area. Please join me in praying for Tyron this week as he starts sharing God's work with elementary students at the school. Pray for confidence, creativity and consistence.
After our first week in the school the director and great friend of mine Esperanza called us into the office. She said she had something special for us. She gave both Julie and I uniform shirts with our names embroidered on them. What a special gift. What a wonderful way to help us feel welcomed and a part of the staff at the school.
On the 27th of March Julie and I will be giving a two-hour workshop on classroom management in SPANISH. Please pray for us as we search for the right words and ways to present the ideas we feel will help the teachers be more effective.
