I have been spending more time teaching English. Since my focus here
and with smallchange4bigchange is education, I have also begun a couple more
English classes. One is with one of our contact families in Santa Catarina
Barahona. Two students are sponsored by members of my home church, Samuel and
Joselyn, and the others are part of the family we work with. I was also able to
reserve a classroom in the Municipality building in a town called San Antonio
where I hope to begin with some of the teens from the families we work with and
possibly some workers in Municipality. The idea of providing someone more
opportunity through English is exciting! 
I also had my first English class with the kids from Paso A Paso
project. The boys and girls (ages 10-13) have separate classrooms. I started on
Monday and had them at the same time, so I went back and forth between rooms.
This Monday I will have the girls first then the boys at different times. This project
is special and these kids and teens feel that it is a place to come to where it
is safe and they have a good time and are cared for. We also have the resources
to help with their lunch program, which was at risk of being discontinued
because of lack of funds. We are thankful to the sponsors who are giving money
to support them so that they can provide these children lunch each day! This past week has also been filled with some personal trials, and through it all I am reminded that God has control and I have to let go and allow Him to be the one who moves. If His hand is at work, there is nothing that can stop Him!
