\"Janet<\/a>Janet says that when she started homeschooling our boys she finally figured out what she wanted to be when she grew up–a teacher.  She did get to teach them for a total of 10 years.  She also taught Bible studies, Sunday School and literacy classes in the village, a Consumer Math class at the MK school, etc.  Now she’s getting to try her hand at teaching phonetics.  This involves teaching how to make and write many of the ‘odd’ sounds that are made in other languages.  As you may imagine, English letters just aren’t sufficient to write Chinese, Portuguese or a remote tribal language.  And we certainly can’t make all those strange sounds without a little coaching! <\/p>\n

She has a small, interactive class of 9 students, all of whom want to go to a foreign country to either reach a tribe with the gospel, or support missionaries by piloting the planes that take them to their place of service.  She’ll change classrooms every 2 weeks (for a total of 5 ‘blocks’) so she’s happy to get to know most of the students better.  (I’ll start teaching a class in a couple weeks–more on that later…)<\/p>\n

Please pray for the students–this is quite stretching for some of them.  <\/p>\n

Praise the Lord with us for opportunities we’ve had to encourage the students here and there.  It’s been fun to be able to share some of our PNG experiences with them and see their excitement about getting to the field. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
