School

We are getting close to outreach, we've almost finished the theory part of the school. This week the counseling students are doing their presentations, and today the first two boys went. One is 31 years old and had more experience teaching. He did well, a little short, but well. The next one was our 17-year-old all dressed up in a suit (I tied his tie because he didn't know how to) and he taught us for an hour and a half. It was incredible, I had no idea he was a good teacher. But it was so cute and made me feel so proud to watch my little student up there so confidant and prepared. I wish I could see him on outreach.

I will not be going with the students on outreach. The 6 students will go with Cristina to Venezuela, but I will stay in Medellin. I need to start the process to make Esperanzas de Vida a legal non-profit organization, in Colombia and in the states. I also am printing our fliers and making contacts with churches and clinics. We have been wanting to do these things all year and didn't have time to devote to them. But please pray a lot that all of the legal stuff makes sense to me and I can do it well. Also that we have open doors with clinics, family services, churches that could support us, and people to donate more things to get the house livable for women (Livable for missionary teenagers is one thing, but we want a more organized, family-feeling home for young moms). This is our plan for this year. Next year, we dive in to working full time with women.


And for our last announcement: the twins arrived on Sunday! They are adorable! Abby and Gaby

Abby Alejandra is the oldest

And Gabriela the youngest.
