Dear Friends and Family,
Have I mentioned the wind that we can get out here? Today was a particulary windy day. I left the house to head to school this morning and was nearly blown awway. I was a bit sad because I had planned to want take my class on a hike. Well I was a bit bummed because it is Friday after a long week and I didn’t want to do work any more than the kids did. Well school began and I noticed one of my girls was wearing stilleto heels. Even more conformation that we shouldn’t take a hike–right! Did I listen? No! I mentioned to my kids that I was planning a hike but they probablly wouldn’t want a hike today. My girl said that she could go change schools and the rest said they wouldn’t mind the wind. So we went for a hike up to a mesa close to the mission called Table Rock. When we got to the top we had trouble standing straight up because of the wind. By the time we got back we had sand in our eyes, teeth, hair, ears, and who knows where else. But it was nice to get out of the classroom for a while. It was the first hike that I took my kids on and with the weather starting to get cooler, I didn’t really want to skip it. So that was my adventure for today.
Anyway, the school year has got off to a great start. We are taking a leisurly pace through the book of Acts in Bible class. On Monday, we will begin Acts 6. My kiddos have already learned I Corinthians 15:20-23. They are now tackling Proverbs 3:1-6. In Math, we are plugging along at a fairly quick pace. That was one of the reasons for the hike today. Some of my kids are working so fast that I’m afraid we’ll be looking for things to do come April. In Geography we have already memorized the 50 states and abbrevitions and 25 state capitals. We are now working on Canada. The first bookreport is due next week. I’m a bit concerned that some might have a heart-attack before we get through this next week!
I would really appreciate prayers for one of my students. She and I haven’t connected yet, and I think that she might be going through some rough things in her life. Anyways I would really like your prayers in knowing how to love her in a way that she can hear. Thanks for all your prayers.
In Christ Alone,
Kelli
