Yes, I (Janelle) am back to school again—this time as a teacher! I am teaching 6th grade language arts at the MK school here on the property and loving it! In so many ways, this school reminds me of the place where I grew up—a small, family-type environment where MKs receive a quality education that prepares them for life and re-entry into their home country. As I look around, I see myself growing up—the same joys, dreams, fears, and insecurities that come from growing up as an MK. What an amazing opportunity to be on the other side and help to disciple these kids!
What about our family? Are they suffering? I am so thankful for the way the Lord is working it out so far! The boys are enjoying the morning childcare provided by fellow missionaries. We all enjoy eating lunches at the Refei, the school cafeteria. (This is actually GOOD cafeteria food!) It is neat to see the whole body of Christ serve one another as we work together to reach the lost here in Brazil!
