International Week

Every Novemeber in the elementry school we celebrate International week. Each class has a different country to study. My class studied South America. Each day brought it own set of fun events like dressing up, or marching in a parade. I really had a fun time learning about South America along with my students.
During the week we prayed for a variety of missionaries who were working in South American countries. We did a variety of fun activities learning about animals and the rain forest. I made my classroom into a rain forest wiht hanging vines. The kids loved it!
The week ended with a International chapel. Each grade presented something about their continent and prayed. It was wonderful to learn about each continent and lift them up in prayer!

In the Garden

Last weekend I had the opportunity to attend a ladies retreat two hours away from Manila. The retreat was held at a nice bed and breakfast place called Sonia' s Garden. I honestly felt like I was not in the Philippines. It was so beautiful. Infact, it was like I was in my mom's garden. There were flowers everywhere. This particular part of the Philippines is much cooler so plants can grow well there.
The speaker was a lady from the states. The conference was for both American and Filipino missionaries.
The accomidations were beautiful. I got to sleep in a real bed and I was actually cold!
I am attaching some pictures to show you this beautiful place.

My favorite part of the weekend was meeting new people. I also got to spend time with my Lord in the garden. It was nice to walk with the Lord in the Garden. I felt like Eve when she walked with the Lord. It was awesome!

50 Years

This year Faith Academy is celebrating 50 years of God's faithfulness. It was so exciting to be part of that celebration. We had a lot of former students and staff visit the campus and share their stories. We also had a flag rasing to honor all the countries represented at Faith. I am proud do say that Canada makes up the third largest population of students at Faith.

Often as I drive up the hill to Faith I am grateful for these two years to be part of molding students for the Kingdom. The more I get to know students and spend time with them I am convinced that fruit will remain in their lives because of Faith Academy.

4B Class of 2006

Here is a picture of my wonderful class. There are 13 children from Korea, United States and Canada. I am truely enjoying every moment with them. This is what makes me get up in the morning...knowing I will see their smiling faces and hear them talk. It is truly a blessing to be part of their little lives!

Some of you knew my class lead chapel on week. This is a picture of my class leading chapel. We did chapel on the topic of Responsibility. They did a fabulous job acting out different skits on responsiblity.
