December was so crazy as you can see I forgot to post the update I did write!
As said, the pageant went good. Travel to Negros was good as well. It was their annual conference, but this year was a special celebration of their 50th year. All the pastors and wives were recognized as well as the missionaries. I even received an official certificate of ordination as a missionary in their denomination. It was exciting and exhausting all at the same time.
The last two weeks have now been focused on two major things:
#1. Official 9G missionary visa application
#2. Planning the first classes
Neither of these tasks are without frustration or complication, but the Lord is in control.
The 9G application has been submitted, return trip for interview is done, and now I wait for my name to show on the approved list. In the mean time I just need to keep my tourist visa up to date.
Planning classes doesn't require the travel that visa does, but I'm still anxious. I ask that you be in prayer with me over this. I think I am almost ready which is good because they start in 24 hours! My big concerns are their high expectation of me and the potential mixed level of students within any one class. Both are expected and I can handle it, I'm just nervous about getting things started. I'm hopeful it is just that "first day of class" jitters. I'm sure come Monday I will be even more exhausted than normal, but it's what I'm here for 😀
Hopefully next month I will have photo updates from all these events and joys to share about these first days of teaching and learning. Be blessed and thank you for your support!
