The Start Of School

Here is the update I am sure that you have been expecting.

I started school this week, which is a big deal.

But before I get to that, I want to talk about the show Gilmore Girls, and I don't really have a point in talking about Gilmore Girls. When I was in middle/high school, my sister played volleyball and I didn't like to go to her games...seriously middle school volleyball. Anyways, I would watch Gilmore Girls when I was home alone, it was always on ABC Family at like 3:30 and I enjoyed watching the opening sequence with all of the fall colors. Gilmore Girls makes me think of fall. Fall is my favorite season and that is why I have been watching Gilmore Girls this week. I miss fall weather. And I have heard that Indiana is getting cooler. I love fall weather.

But anyways, I started school. I wore a pant suit (which yes is just as hot as it sounds). It went as well as I expected that it might. Because I am a fan of being the most honest writing I am going to be honest with you my readers. It was really difficult. I can teach preschoolers in the US, and it is kind of the same thing...except that it is totally different. It is semi like trying to baptize a cat, which I have never done because why does a cat need baptized, but I just imagine that it would be about the same level of difficulty. I am not saying it was bad, it is just really hard. I don't speak the same language as the students, and I am trying to teach them a new language while I am still teaching them their academics. It was difficult.

But God calls us to do difficult things. He wouldn't have called me here if He knew that I couldn't handle it. Its just the beginning and I am praying that it gets easier. I have to keep reminding myself that I am not here in Honduras for myself. I am here because I am serving the Lord, and in serving Him, I am serving others. In the difficult moments, I probably wouldn't think this, but in the good moments, I realize that this year will help me grow in incredible ways. And it is hard, and I cry a lot, but hopefully this will make me a stronger person. God isn't finished with me yet, this is a building process. I am excited for the outcome, and nervous about the hard work in between now and then.

So all in all, school is school. The kids are cute, I feel way in over my head and that is causing a lot of stress. But I am living in Honduras! Which has been my dream for four years! And that is still so exciting!

I know this post is all over the place, I am exhausted and I'm not wearing my glasses ;)

I will try to write more when I have the time and the correct amount of sleep :)

Bendiciones!
