Julia has nine students in her 7th grade classroom. She has taken over for Mrs. Louderback, who returned to the U.S. to recover from injuries she sustained here in a car accident. Julia is enjoying relearning a lot of stuff we all forgot long ago (mitochondria?). We're both brainstorming about teaching strategies at the dinner table...or venting about a particular challenge. Fridays are a welcome sight these days.
While our endeavors in Kosova have been uniquely enjoyable and rewarding, we have decided not to return next school year. We'll be settling back into our home in Hebron. There are several reunions were are looking forward to, but our Kosova memories will not quickly fade. Right now, we certainly think of the teachers Prishtina High school will need for the '09-10 school year. Please join us in praying for next years teachers (wherever they may be)! God is preparing them as He did us way back in the winter of 2006.
