The students in this school have a lot of problems. There are many respect, relationship, and discipline issues we have to help them grown in. But despite some immaturities I love them all so much! I feel almost like they are my own kids. This week has been so hard for me because other staff members have been coming down hard on MY kids. Maybe the students need it, but many of them have come to me crying or had really down days because of how staff has approached them. We all need a lot of wisdom to lovingly disciple them. Please pray for us leaders (and it wouldn't hurt to pray that I can exercise self control keep from strangling harsh people... just kidding). But I do need help to respect other people's pastoral styles.
But my Sunday was beautiful. Today one of my friends that lives in the University student house went to church with me. We had such a good time bringing comic relief to our weeks. But we also get a kick out of entertaining our entire bus with our expressive Spanglish. We get more creative in communicating all the time! Church was so good!!! And I knew all of the songs; it's easier to worship when you don't have to think really hard to understand what you're singing. I'm learning more Spanish and it makes me really excited. But learning a culture is so much more fun than just learning the language!
Have a wonderful week. And make sure to let someone know how much you love them oddities and all!

I'm so glad when worship can be good. It refreshes everything else. It sounds like there are ongoing challenges. I'm glad love can overcome frustration. I pray God will keep giving you wisdom and love and energy for all these people!
