First day of classes

The first day of classes went pretty much as expected. The children who do not live at La Senda(which is the majority of the students) have been without English for about 3 months now so they've all forgotten what they learned so it's pretty much back to square one with that. It was pretty frustrating but i know the Lord will be with Jessica and I as we struggle to communicate with the children. In my second grade math class is where i'm going to be needing most of your prayers. The first lesson was reviewing counting up to 100 and only a few select students knew how to count higher than 30 so i've got my work cut out for me in there. I appreciate all the love and support everyone is sending our way it's one thing that keeps my spirits high and frustration low. I think it's just beginning to settle for jessica and i that we are away from everything we know and are in a completely different place where all we really have are one another so i really need some prayer when it comes to us keeping our spirits high and knowing that we are here for a reason bigger than us. Thanks again to everyone and sorry for no blog yesterday the internet was down! I'll be sure to get on again later and fill everyone in on the events of today!
