Today something really fun happened -- Dr. Jay, who ran the program that I was with before in China, and his wife were on campus because their daughter is starting school in the fall! It was cool to get to show them around my world a bit. They all were feeling like they were in a major information overload stage... and I felt like it was a role reversal. Anyway, it was great to have a chance to reconnect on the other side of the world.
I finished doing the pre-China classwork for one of my three classes and have started on the second, so I just read Teaching to Change Lives by Howard Hendricks. It was a great (and quick) read, and I enjoyed thinking through how what he talks about was demonstrated by various teachers I've had. It's really exciting (and a bit nerve-wracking!) to think that I am going to be a teacher myself in not that long. I just finished being a student!
In other news, I've had the opportunity to do a few conference calls with other future teachers. Those have been good chances to connect with each other, hear about where we are all at in the process of preparing to go, and lifting each other up before the Father. In a month and a half, we'll all be meeting each other in LAX. Amazing.
Annnnnd, finally... the new newsletters came to me from the printer today, so I am slipping them into envelopes and will be getting them dispersed out to y'all soon. If you're not on my mailing list and would like to be, drop me an email/comment/something. :)
