Student Profile

Every now and then I will share ways with you in how you can pray for my students. Here are couple students you can pray for.

1. Last week I got twins in my class from Saudi Arabia. Their English is limited and probably don't know much about the Bible. They are Muslim.

2. I have a young man in my class who just came from Thailand. English is also limited and probably limited Bible knowledge.

3. I have a girl in my class who is Korean/Brazilian. When she first came she didn't participate in class at all but now she is starting to oontribute to discussions and seems more interested in what we are doing.

God is working

Part of what I want to do through this blog is share the many different ways that God is working through students, parents and teachers. Here are a couple of things that were shared in our faculty devotions this morning.

1. Two second graders went to the principal with some "banners" that they had made. They want to sell them because they want to help Dr. Casino, the elementary chaplain, send Bibles to North Korea. These girls' parents are going to help them.

2. The second graders are learning to use their Bibles. The other day their teacher saw them playing a game during their free time. They were playing "Sword Drill"! In case you don't know what that is, that's when someone says a verse reference and everyone tries to be the first one to find the verse.

3. Some senior girls went to their teacher. They want to have a Bible study with her to talk about relationships.

4. A muslim girl in 4th grade signed up for Worship Dance club.

5. A mother from a VERY muslim country is memorizing Bible verses and coming to elementary chapel!

Shoe Repair

I am very fortunate because I can buy shoes here. If my feet were just a little bigger I wouldn't be able to! In September I bought a new pair of shoes in Itaewon for school. They're really cute but when I wore them to school they made so much noise when I walked down the hall. Clunk, clunk...Everyone knew I was coming. It was embarassing. So finally today I went to the shoe repairman to get them fixed. I've posted a picture. There are shoe repair places all over the city like this. He took off the sole and put a rubber sole on in about 10 minutes. And it cost 4,000 won ($4.00). Not bad, huh! AND, no more clunking around for me. I can sneak up on anyone.
