Student Spotlight!

Enzo is kind of a troublemaker. He has a hard time focusing and gets distracted very easily. Also, he is in the third grade class. Yes, kudos to you if you know about the third grade class. Just to recap, this particular set of third grade students has caused me much unwanted, but sanctifying, stress.

But, despite it all, I can't help but be totally in love with them, especially with this little boy.

I recently went on an excursion (field trip) with my students to a place called Aregua. They were super excited and proceeded to chant random things like "OLIMPIA! CERRO! PARAGUAY!" Then I caught Enzo doing this.

Although he can be hard to manage in class, he has the biggest heart and I pray that he will grow up to be a man who loves and fears the Lord. Please join with me in this prayer!

Picture Update!

Joe here.
It's been a long time since I updated. We were very busy the past three weeks as we hosted two teams from back home. You can read all about what we did with the teams on kaceyinparaguay.blogspot.com. What I'm going to do here is post some pictures of the Expo that the high school students at Colegio Presbiteriano Cerritos put together, of the Día de Folklore celebration, and of an end of the year dance recital for one of my students. The Expo is an annual event where the high school students showcase various things that they have been learning and Día de Folklore is a day when the people of Paraguay remember their cultural heritage.
