Musings of Middle School

Oh the fun times spent with Middle Schoolers... that's my life now.  I work at one of the middle schools and I help with the jr. high at church.  So my life is full of giggling and notes and school work and fun times...

"There was tape on my butt and nobody told me!!"

"There's a spider back there..." 
Me -  "I'm not going to let it get you, now turn around."
"Yeah right..."

"Miss McDermatt."
"Miss MacDarmett."
"Miss McDermick."
"Hey Miss Teacher Lady."

And of course with the jr. highers at church... playing slaughter and other fun games... laughing lots... and growing together in Him.

My patience is being stretched some days, but it's good.  And I'm learning as I go what works best with each kid.  And hoping that I can show them some of God's love.

More pictures for your viewing enjoyment, lol.


I love this picture... it's a baptism at the river.



This is Nancy and I making Christmas cookies... she lives at the Koutou station.



This is me, and Beate's sister and brother-in-law enjoying breakfast on Christmas morning.



This is Beate and I with the professors of the Bible school in Bessao and their wives.  Note the small roundish grass structure to the left of me in the background... that's the bathroom.



This is me with all the responsible people of the True Love Waits club for 3 churches.



And this is me stirring the boule in a kitchen with one of Benedicte's relatives.

That's all for now... I hope you enjoy!  Keep praying... God is answering!

Hey!  Pictures are working today! 



This one is of the bride and groom from the wedding we went to.



This is one of our guards and his family... the baby is named after Beate.



I went on the market with these girls and the one in blue bought me some earrings.



My attempt at pumpkin pie in our kitchen... doesn't look professional or anything, but it tasted good!



Thanksgiving dinner together with (left to right) John, Mark, Bob, Beate and Karina.



Just a cool view...

Maybe more later!  Hope you enjoy!

Ok... we're trying this again... I want to put up more pictures... but it takes so long to load and the connection just went out here, so I had to start over again... be ever so grateful for your wonderful, speedy internet connections!

And... it's not working... I can upload the photos, but I can't get any of them onto the actual page... it's weird.  I just put all my pictures on facebook and I sent the album to some of you in an email.  If you would still like to see the pictures and don't have facebook... please ask my family or wait and see if I can eventually get more pictures on here.  Again, I've been here for over an hour, so I need to go now.  Sorry about the pictures... I'm sure I can show you when I return.  Thanks for your patience!

Still wanting your prayers...

Thanks!





Ok... So I'm trying to upload images on blogger, but it's taking a while, so I'm going to try on here!  I have so many more pictures than this... but uploading these took about 45 minutes and now I have to go... hopefully I can put up some more later!





This is my view out the window of the second airplane.... gorgeous.




This is the side of the duplex where I live... it's very nice.




My bedroom... I still hadn't mastered the art of mosquito net rolling... lol




Our living/dining room...




The river... can you see me?




Beate and I on our front porch.

Maybe more later...
