Hello everyone,

            How are you all doing? Splendid I hope. Well I sit here in the office and am at a total loss as to what to write about. Today marks the 253^rd day that I have been living in the Philippines. The significance, I have about 100 days left in my journey here. It simultaneously feels like I have such a long stretch left, yet I know I will be packing for home soon enough.

            Today I have been preparing for school tomorrow. Cleaning the classroom, putting new things on the boards, rearranging the furniture. Boy am I tired! Moving things and cleaning in hot weather just takes it out of ya. If you could be praying for my new batch of kids, I would appreciate it! I would also like prayer for wisdom, discernment, patience, grace and knowledge. I will need each of these in abundance. They all love to ask the most random questions and I often find myself wracking my brain for any scrap of knowledge on that subject.

            We have finally finished painting the little house!! Yay, praise God!! I think I will have red paint in my hair for weeks.

            Thank you to everyone who keeps this family and me in your prayers.

God Bless,

Kelsey
