Merry Christmas to my friends and family! The beginning of December came and went with my hardly noticing it. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving break. I greatly appreciated the time away from school. It was also nice to hang out with friends. Anne Denny’s family from Kansas came and they included me in all of their games and activities. Who knew that 4 square would be as much fun for adults as it is for kids! I also used the break to decorate my house for Christmas. I don’t quite know why, but I love Christmas decorations!
My class has been quite busy these last three weeks. We are working on a geography project and a book report. It is all due tomorrow!!! We’ve had snow falling all day, and I am praying that we still have school tomorrow–otherwise I have no idea how to fill out report-cards.
The snow here has turned the beautiful scenery into a different, but equally beautiful landscape. Pray for all the staff that will be traveling, though. Several of us have to cross the mountains. Last year when riding with the Blooms back to Kansas, we hit an elk and a deer in the same night!
I would also appreciate your prayers for my students. I know that I often ask for prayer for them, but it is soooo important. We serve a God that left His home above, came to earth as a little baby, grew to a man–tempted in all ways like we, died for our sins, rose again to defeat death, and ascended into heaven where He now intercedes daily for us. Teaching Jr. High this year has reminded me daily of how much we all need our Loving Savior. My students especially need His love, care, and comfort. Daily I fall more in love with my students and daily I have to give them and their problems over to Him. Please help me in praying for them–they need our prayers greatly.
In Christ’s Arms,
Kelli Wilson
