When I came back I jumped right into my 3rd (and last) trimester at the Institute...almost there :)
As you know ...outside of learning spanish in the school..... I have been a volunteer English teacher.. :) it is definitely fun...it’s also a growing experience! (I have no experience in teaching and there is such a wide range of kids...sometimes there is a range from 2yrs to 11yrs) ...so just needing wisdom on how to lesson plan for such a wide age gap. I want all of the kids to benefit ...from this time. I want to be a godly influence, teach with excellence and take advantage of the time that I have been given responsibility of!
After missing 2 weeks of seeing the kids from *** because of being in Canada...it was SUCH A JOY to see their faces again! I love them! I love that I get to be a part of their lives...it is so cool to see the way trust has been built over time and wow.....getting to see the KING work in their little hearts! :) He is doing a work in this community....and that is for sure... so evident! :) Sometimes we don't always see with our eyes what the Lord is doing ...and sometimes we do. :)

| One of the coolest things is seeing this lil guy on the right participating in the Bible Study (on the armour of God)...he has been known to be a lil trouble maker....but that is NOT who he is....God has big plans for his life...and He is working.... the enemy we know the he lives to steal, kill and destroy..but our God..he is victourious over all. |

Also, a little update on la Casa de Mujeres...this is recovery home (drugs, alcohol, prostitution, etc) for women of all ages. The enemy is fighting to take these women down...please pray! One of the women was put in the hospital this past Thursday morning she had only been there for a week....one of the leaders told me that because the hospital knows that she has been consuming so they are less likely to help (I forget all of the politics of it all...but it was surprising to hear) Also, there is a 19 year old girl she is the youngest there right now....has been there for 2 months and wants to go home....so just pray for strength and drive to finish the program. She originally came very depressed, drug addicted and with cuts (now scars) up her arm. She is a new person now, she has been clean for 2 months and.....she HAS JESUS in her heart :) Also, there was a lady that got kicked out when I was there this past Thursday...:( she consumed :( ...but...there is hope...so please pray for her. Drugs are really cheap in CR :( A lot of these ladies have been living like this for a long time, many on the streets....the enemy has run their lives for a long time....it is obviously a physical battle but really what more it is a VERY SPIRITUAL battle. **Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Well' just a small update for you....please let me know if you have any questions or if there are things that I can be praying for you about! In the mean time....Lets look to the Maker of Heaven and earth..And trust Him with every aspect of our lives...I declare that I trust YOU LORD....with my past, present and future
.
Help me to honour YOU.....

:) Have a wonderful week!!!!!! Melissa
