Thank you for praying for us. We had our school break a week ago. We stayed home and enjoyed the change of pace and being together as a family. It was refreshing as this next quarter will be very busy. Walter was able to catch up on a lot of work.
Basketball season is here. Tryouts begin this week. Walter will be the head girls coach for the varsity team. It looks like the coaches and assistants are now lined up for the season. Walter is feeling a bit overwhelmed, being new to “running the show.” He has usually been the assistant or JV coach and enjoyed being under someone more experienced. He has learned a lot during those times.
During our in service before school started again, Walter and his department were able to help the teaching staff at Faith Academy understand what it is like for child who has learning differences. It was an eye-opener for them. It will help them to understand the struggles their students have and how to help them.
In a few weeks, Paul has the privilege to go to Malaysia for the Southeast Asia Honors Band. It will cost him about $275 (registration, airfare and food – lodging is provided). We are excited for him. Pray for the needed finances for this trip, and pray also for our students to be a light to the other international schools.
Thank you also for your prayers for us during the flooding last month. Many families are still getting back to “normal.” There is still some clean up and fixing or replacing items that were damaged in the flood. There are some areas of Manila that still have some water. Also, areas up north received damage to homes and crops. This weekend, another typhoon came through. Though it wasn’t as strong as predicted, it did bring additional rain and caused more damage. Please continue to pray for the Philippines and those who have been affected by these natural calamities. We might not understand why such things happen, but we do know Who is in control and Who holds our future.
In Christ,
Cheryl for the Spicers
