Shopping and Syllabi 8/13/09

Today was really exciting because we went into town and I found some great things that I didn’t expect. I found this amazing apple cinnamon cereal which is picture above. I’m so delighted because is has flaxseed in it!! I also found a bag of barley. I’m really happy about that because it will provide some variety in the types of grains I eat. I also got some seed packages of tomatoes, beets, spinach, broccoli and radishes!! I can’t wait to begin cultivating them for food. :) They will be delicious additions.

Later this evening I began writing syllabi for my classes. Ugh, is that ever difficult. I really want to have a well managed class and I think so far my planning is going ok. I need to be consistent with what I tell them. I think I’ll be able to do that. My classroom is nearly finished. I’ll post some pictures of it probably tomorrow.

One of the other student missionaries is having trouble with being able to stay here because she is not a U.S. Citizen. She’s from Germany and is here on a tourist status. She will need to leave and fill out some paper work on another island close by and may not be able to return until a month later. Someone else will need to teach her 3rd grade class while she’s gone and such. We are all praying that this will not be a problem and that perhaps she will be able to come back relatively quickly. Please keep her in your prayers.
