and I collected prayer requests in a jar.\u00a0 Every day we pull a few out and bring them before the Lord.\u00a0 On the first day of school one of my students drew this slip: \u201cfor our churches and friends who pray for us and support us.\u201d\u00a0 Know that we love and appreciate the sacrifice you make of your time and resources to keep us in our ministry.\u00a0 Know that four weird kids and an even weirder teacher are praying for you and asking God to richly bless you for your generosity.<\/p>\n<p>God has provided for us in a variety of special ways lately.\u00a0 We found houses for rent that meet our needs and are in the same neighborhood.\u00a0 Now our entire team is within walking distance of each other.\u00a0 In one house are the Alkires and I, with an extra bedroom for the school and a small yard for the dogs.\u00a0 Only two blocks away are the Elkins and Rachel, or \u201cteam headquarters\u201d as it seems to be becoming.\u00a0 The Elkins and Rachel took on the monstrous task of feeding 13 people for a week during move-in time.\u00a0 Not only that, but when we gather for team meetings or important events like pizza and movie night that seems to be where we all head.\u00a0 What a gift of hospitality God has blessed that family with!\u00a0 Not far from the Elkins house are the Davises, in beautiful home with room for the kids to spread out a bit and a play area inside.<\/p>\n<p>School started on Labor Day of all things, but we had already postponed enough and were eager to get going.\u00a0 We are now in the middle of week seven and things are going well.\u00a0 Thank you for your prayers as we tread this new territory.\u00a0 The kids love their CD players and a chance to earn time on the laptop, both gifts from my home church in Dowling, MI.\u00a0 In a large \u201cestancia\u201d area at the stairs landing we have created a library with books donated from many of you.\u00a0 Sarah would call it a spoiling moment\u2026one where you see that God not only provides our needs but takes pleasure in surprising us with extras, too.\u00a0 School goes from 9 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon, when our families eat \u201ccomida\u201d or the Mexican main meal.\u00a0 In September we celebrated \u201cTalk Like a Pirate Day\u201d with pirate poetry for writing class, a treasure map (map reading skill are important, you know) and Muppet Treasure Island.\u00a0 (It\u2019s a real day, by the way, I don\u2019t make this stuff up).\u00a0 What a hearty group of scurvy dogs!<\/p>\n<p>Another item that is in the school\u2019s prayer request jar and on our hearts is the Nahuatl people.\u00a0 We are asking God for their continued health and safety until they can hear the gospel and that the Holy Spirit will be preparing their hearts to hear the Word.\u00a0 We have a long way to go and are eager to be there and be learning the language.\u00a0 In a recent trip to the tribe, our team discovered that enough bricks have been completed to start one of the team\u2019s houses.\u00a0 Praise God for another example of provision and pray that we can quickly start construction and move in.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Thank you, as always, for your faithfulness to pray for me, encourage me to stay faithful to the task before me, and support me financially.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the beginning of the school year
