We started language school. Well Justin and I did. We go two days a week for an hour and a half each time. The first few lessons were very hard for me but then it started to get easier. Our teacher is very nice and patient. She even recognized after our third lesson that I was able to respond better. I can understand a lot I am just so afraid of making a mistake when talking I let it paralyze me. I have been praying a lot that God would help me with this and it is coming, slowly but coming.
We finished our first week of school here. Ellie is now in first grade, Braeden fifth grade, and Kayla is in eight grade. Justin and I both teach them to help get school done smoothly and timely. They did wonderful this week and I pray they will have a great year!
Our beautiful Kayla turned 13!! I cannot believe she is growing up so fast! She is a huge help to us and we love her very much. She plans to go to college to be a vet assistant, vet, or nurse. She has not decided yet. She is definitely bright enough to do anything I can tell you that. I am very proud to be her mom and so unworthy.
We are enjoying going to church here and I go to Sunday school with the kids to translate for them. This has been a source of anxiety for me but each time the people are gracious and kind and help me if I do not understand. The kids have been enjoying getting to learn and play with other kids and I have enjoyed watching them.
The weather has turned colder and most of the leaves have fallen from the trees. The kids did get a chance to jump in pile of leaves and have enjoyed fall so far. Thank you for the prayers and support!
