Back in the Habit

January 2014! Hit the ground running and haven't stopped yet.

Students and Teachers Learning from a Monk

Highlights:
Some of my first students came by to visit
- Let the world know another Whertvine is on the way! Thanks everyone for the support and prayers!
- Started the second half of the last semester off right. Had a good group out to watch a movie and play games.
- Celebrated a friend's wedding
- Had our first ultrasound and realized I was looking at my kid
- Went to a TESOL seminar and got a lot of good ideas about how to up my game in the classroom
- Spent the weekend at a temple with the English department and got to know and understand the culture and beliefs that much better.



Prayer Requests:
Lunch with Some students
- We haven't had any students coming the last couple weeks. With finals fast approaching at the end of February they are feeling the pressure. Be praying that our house can be a refuge from that rather than bars
- Annie was asked to leave her job, twice within a week. Her bosses made it clear that they didn't want to have to pay for a birth and for her to take time off. So we decided she should go ahead and leave. So we don't really know what the next step for her will be.
- We need a vehicle. Annie is starting to show, and driving in the fumes and pollution can't be good for us or the baby, and in a few months we both won't be able to fit on the bike. So we are trying to figure out what the best thing to do is to save up for a down payment. We are going to send out fundraising requests for the vehicle soon.
- This month is even busier than last month. Please pray that I can get everything done at school I need to get done done and on time. Also that I have the energy and motivation to do so.
