Prayer Request

Hello all.  By the time any of you read this, this will probably have already happened, but still read on.  School starts tomorrow morning for us, Tuesday night for you.  What we really really really need is prayer that the first week or so goes smoothly.  We are both beginning teachers and have had limited time to set up our classrooms and look through our curriculum.  In fact, we haven't planned anything past tomorrow, and don't even really know what we're teaching yet!

  Pray that we will be flexible, pray that we will be calm in the face of sudden changes, and pray that we can work through language boundaries.  To speak to that last request, my class (Russ) has 13 students, 7 of which need an hour to two hours of English language training each day because they don't speak well enough.  Three of the students that I met personally last night don't (or at least don't let on that they) speak ANY English.  It's going to be a challenging year, for sure.  So please support us in prayer and rally up God's warriors for us.  Thanks again, and we love you!
