We need each other

The cleaning ladies, the women who work in the kitchen, the teachers, the maintenance staff (which is just one super cool guy named Ramon who reminds me of my dad), the … Continue reading We need each other
Here’s the thing about Tuesday
Every once in a while I like to do a "Day in the Life" post.

We started this week off with a Missions Conference led by an amazing speaker/missionary from Spain/Mexico. (He's a Mexican missionary to Spain.) This week my tutoring finally started back up and I've been loving the cooler weather.

A Day in the Life (with pictures!)
This morning I got up at 6:44am (only after hitting the snooze four times, thank you very much) and read Luke 4. I got to school pretty early because I had some lacing letters to finish.
