Settlling in

I was informed yesterday that the Sophomore class in Yap (my homeroom class) officially has a teacher!! I don’t know all the details yet but a teacher arrived that replaced the eighth grade teacher so that she could be the new permanent science teacher and sophomore homeroom teacher. I’m so elated! :) Please keep Yap in your prayers and also keep Leyah in your prayers as well. She is a sophomore in Yap and her father just past away.

The past weekend Wisconsin Academy had a spiritual retreat at Camp Wakonda. Most of the school went and it seemed to really affect the students in a positive way. This past week was week of prayer and many students gave their testimonies as well.

There are several of the girls who really like to hang out in the office and talk about things bothering them and just normal things happening in their lives. Then there are others who I don’t really see much of. They’re starting to get to know me better which is good.

Many students have been on ‘social’ lately. Social is when two people can not have any contact with each other until the allotted time is over. This usually lasts at least a week. I think the main reason they are put on social is because many of them don’t know where their boundaries should be set. It’s good that they can hopefully learn more about where they should be set while they are here.

The last week has been largely spent preparing for the mother-daughter banquet which will be held this Sunday by girls club. If anything, I know that I'm helping by giving the head dean some time to finally breathe. She's been worked to death the last semester and I'm glad I can alleviate her at least a little. It's been fun.
