Life moves faster here than I thought it would. We have now finished the fourth week of school and our progress reports (mid-terms) are due this coming Friday!!! Thanks so much for all your prayers and thoughts as we've continued to adjust to life here, to our new jobs of teaching, to a new set of friends and even more to each other.
We've been blessed even more since last time. We had last Monday off of school and we were able to spend the weekend enjoying more sights on the island and off the island. We hiked to Forbidden Island. It's quite the hike but it was worth the refreshing swim in the cold ocean water. Then on Monday we went with the youth group from church, the Sawyers and Joel the PE teacher to Managaha Island. That was incredibly beautiful. Just the blues in the water, the fish you could see while snorkeling and the weather. It made me think again about how we are living here and not just on vacation. I'll post some pictures once we get the chance.
We are blessed. School continues to go well. It has it's days where I wonder why I'm doing this, but for the most part - Jake and I both love teaching, our classes and the school!
The friends we've made and continue to make are incredible. The really do become your family when you have none nearby. God has blessed us with some incredibly, caring and loving people and we couldn't thank Him enough for the Sawyers, Joel, Amanda, Sandy and soon her husband, Terry and the Winkfields. We love you all so much!
Well Jake and I are off to take a ballroom dancing class! :)
Hope you are all doing good. We love you all and miss you all tons!
Love J & J
