When I came to Honduras, the last thing I expected to hear were the words that eventually changed the entire focus of this year, "We need you to be a Fourth Grade teacher."
BUT, it has become a pleasant surprise.
Before arriving in Honduras, the plan was for me to work with the school administration. Agape Christian Academy had created a position for me working with accreditation, new marketing ideas, and general administration. However, when it came time for school to start, they still needed one more teacher....which became my opportunity to serve!
I have been training with Mrs. Nancy Contrerras for the past month watching her class strategies and teaching presence with the students. Mrs. Contrerras is one of the best teachers here and is expecting a baby in one month! When she goes on maternity leave, I will become the full - time teacher of Agape Christian Academy Fourth Grade A, until the beginning of January. :)
I have already been teaching several classes and I have really enjoyed it. There has been so much to learn and I am being stretched, but I praise God for this new challenge.
Also, I thank God for the privilege to shape and form these children's lives for this time. They are each so special and full of life. It is amazing how we as teachers are forming this new generation to be godly, disciplined, and extremely intelligent.
