I haven't fallen off the face of the earth...

I promise that I have not fallen off of the face of the earth, but I have been neglectful in updating this site!!! I started the semester out well and kept up, but now I am so far behind with pics and info that it scares me everytime I think of updating. So, I will say that Christmas was great and the play was wonderful. The students did a great job in the performance and the words were clear.

As a team, we drew names for gifts and on Christmas morning we had a late breakfast and then shared our gifts. It wasn't the same as being at home with family, but our Father has provided me with many sisters and brothers and I am grateful to be here with them. We were like little kids with all of our gifts and very thankful to be able to share the meaning with each other. We also had opportunity to share with
students in gifts, words, and fellowship. It was a great experience to spend this holiday in another country and still have a common understanding of the true meaning.
The new year is quickly passing us by and I sit here near the end of January which means the end of the first semester and I am amazed that I have been here for 5 months now. Time does fly when you are having fun and when you get older!!! We are approaching Final Exams and have completed our last week of teaching. For now we will review and help to prepare the students for the finals. We will fly home on Feb 6th and have the opportunity to spend a few weeks with family in the states and Canada before we all return for another fun-filled semester!!!

Dear Friends and Family, I arrived back in Shanghai on Tuesday, August 28th. On Wednesday morning we were already up early to go to the supermarket to get groceries and to help the new ones get settled in. We have four new people joining us this year. Three of those are guys and yes, the other is a girl!! We have two new English teachers, one nursing teacher and one science teacher. The team is now about even in the ratio of girls to guys now!! The boys are happy! My first class day was Monday, September 3rd. I am teaching Maternity this semester and have the same students that I had the first semester. So, it is nice to not have to learn a whole new class of students. We have 118 sophomores and 114 freshmen in our program. My first week was pretty easy because we have not started check-off yet. Check-off is the time where we teach them skills and they have to demonstrate them back to us for a grade. We will have check-off for Maternity, Medical/Surgical Nursing, and Fundamentals of Nu...

Dear friends, Wow, it has been a long time since I posted. I always have such grand ideas of doing great journaling here and I always fall quite a bit short of that...and today will be the same. I don't have a lot of time to write, but wanted to let you know that I have changed the place that I am posting pictures. I have been using Facebook and have found it easier to post pics there. So, my pics are now at www.facebook.com . You do have to sign in to this site, but after you do, you can search for my name and view my pics and other info about me. At some point I may even blog there, but for now I will continue to try to keep you a little updated here.
