With basketball and softball games, basketball practice, PJ day, grading, conferences, craft days and parties, church searching, staring term 4, getting "hit" by a car, and all the other normal responsibilities of being a teacher, spouse, and friend, I would say that March has for sure been one of our craziest months so far. Even though we didn't have that much more of a load than normal, we have been going without a break since Christmas pretty much! 3 months is a lonngggg time for us teachers and for our precious students :)
Needless to say, we are looking forward to our spring break coming up this Friday! For those of you who don't know, we're headed off to Turkey and Greece to follow Paul's 2nd missionary journey! We are SO excited for a break and of course to see and learn all about a place we have never been! When we get back we'll be finishing up term 4, celebrating our birthdays Indo style, and then heading to our home(s) in the States on June 8th! I can't believe how fast this year has gone. It has been incredible and challenging. Even though, we are definitely looking forward to the summer with family and great friends (and FRESH air ... and good FOOD .. and sunshine ...) - I know that we will be excited to come back to our home here. It's amazing the peace and joy you feel when you believe you're doing what the Lord wants! This promise has really reigned true lately {from Psalm 37}

Trust in the LORD and do good;
dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.
Take delight in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD;trust in him and he will do this:
He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn,
your vindication like the noonday sun.
Be still before the LORD
and wait patiently for him;
do not fret when people succeed in their ways,
when they carry out their wicked schemes.
Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;
do not fret—it leads only to evil.
For those who are evil will be destroyed,
but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land
I hope those words encourage you like they do me :)
Before I sign off for now, here are some pictures from our pajama/reading day at the beginning of March. It was so much fun - the kids really loved it! They sure know how to make me smile :)
The books after the madness was all over. I think this proves our day was a success!
All the primary teachers (K1-G2) in our PJ's. I love all these ladies and am SO thankful for all of them!
We divided all the kids up into groups with different ages and they read to each other

7 of my 10 K1 students! Aren't they cuties ... :)
Bye for now my friends ... Thanks as always for the prayers, love and support!
