trials

I'm almost finished my first week of school. Its tiring. And oh my is it ever hot! the new class rooms that we built when i was here last February don't have air conditioner's and from 1-3pm its crazy hot here. I guess i knew that before hand but its different when you re wearing pants and a polo shirt all day. Well so far this week I've taught devotions with the Sankey kinds in the morning. We are studying James and so far we've talked about trial, temptations and the importance of listening and Doing what God's word tells us. This coming week i will begin most of the responsibilities that i will have for the year. I'll be teaching a bible class on Acts Monday and Wednesday and then teaching P.E. in the afternoons Tues-Thursday. I've already bought PVC pipe and netting to make lacrosse goals and next week I'll introduce it to the kids! I'm looking forward to seeing them hack each other with the sticks! Should be very entertaining! So far God has been teaching me mostly about trials and how we aught to handle them. I know its easier to say when things are going good but none the less is true. This is what James says on the subject: " count it all joy my brothers whenever you face trials of many kinds because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance..." right now I'm trying to learn to persevere. thanks for all of you who are praying for me out there love Brian!
