chicken pox!

This morning I received a phone call saying that Julio and Kevin have chicken pox and wouldn't be in school today. When I got to school, I found out that Franklin, my 6th grader, along with Emma, one of the 5th graders also were out with chicken pox. So today, I just had Jennifer and Elli, two 5th graders for class today. Neither one of them have had chicken pox before, so I'm just waiting for them to get it too. So...needless to say, I had a pretty easy day. 3 of my class periods I had free b/c I was only supposed to have 4th graders. I had plenty to do, though b/c grades were due today. This will be an interesting week with no kids! Some of the other teachers are giving me a hard time about not having any classes.

Speaking of grades, it means we've been in school for 8 weeks! I can't believe it's gone by so fast!
It's getting to the time of year, again, where I need to decide whether or not i'm staying here with the ministry for another year. Please be praying with me as I make this decision. I need to tell the leadership here by November 15th.

November 15th is also an important date b/c that's the day my brother's coming to visit me! I'm excited that Robbie will get to see everything i've talked about the past year or so and I'll get to spend some time with him!
