We realize that we need to update you on our classes…\u00a0 We’ve been learning SOOO much and it has been truly amazing.\u00a0 We are in some pretty heavy classes, so I haven’t really figured out how to explain all that we’ve been experiencing in a blog.\u00a0 So that will come soon!\u00a0 But for now, I’d like to give you a little update on the other part of training…after classes each day!<\/p>\n

BJ does his work detail in the tech center.\u00a0 Here, he does random jobs helping get orders sent out to missionaries around the world.\u00a0 Some of these items might be solar panels, systems, fans, etc.\u00a0 It’s really a great opportunity that he gets to help out with.\u00a0 Some days, he gets to help with even more random things: like transporting mattresses across campus for people who are coming to stay the week and serve our campus.\u00a0 BJ always finds fun in all of the jobs that he does (see picture)!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While BJ is at work detail, I am usually at home taking care of our kids, cleaning, cooking, doing homework, or napping!\u00a0 But, recently, I was asked to take this training to become a Homeschool Coordinator overseas.\u00a0 Many parents are going to homeschooling, because they don’t want to send their children to boarding schools.\u00a0 Many of the moms don’t have a teaching background, and so this is where I will enter!\u00a0 My role will be to assist and encourage moms that are having a difficult time managing all of this.\u00a0 I might encourage them, inform them about different curriculum, or give them ideas that might help their children.\u00a0 I am actually really excited about this because I will get to use my teaching degree and my gift to encourage!\u00a0 I’m not exactly sure how this will look overseas, but I am going through training every Monday and loving being back into curriculum and “teacher talk”!<\/p>\n

Olivia has been doing really well in the toddler class!\u00a0 She is really learning a lot about Adam & Eve and Noah’s Ark.\u00a0 At lunch, we ask her what she learned at school today and this is what she said yesterday: “Noah build a big boat and listened to God.\u00a0 The other guys were bad.”\u00a0 We asked her which guys, the guys who made fun of Noah?\u00a0 And she said “yeah!”\u00a0 So sweet!\u00a0 She gets daily reports and this weeks have said “went potty in the toilet, listened and sat still during bible lesson, and obeyed her teacher!”\u00a0 We are so proud of her!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sophie also has been taking “big class” well!\u00a0 Some may not know this, but the nursery is closed this semester because of lack of help.\u00a0 So all the babies under a year old have to come to class with mom and dad.\u00a0 You might see how this could be a HUGE distraction, but Sophie girl has made the change rather easy.\u00a0 We set up a pack and play and she sleeps through most of our classes.\u00a0 She wakes up for the last 30 minutes to an hour and crawls around our class!\u00a0 When she is awake, she is a busy bee!\u00a0 She is crawling everywhere, pulling up on EVERYTHING, and cruising around!\u00a0 Oh, and tries to eat everything on the floor.\u00a0 I definitely feel like a mom at school telling everyone to pick up their trash and crumbs!\u00a0 haha.<\/p>\n

Like we always say, it may be a crazy life…but it’s our life!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
