Hi friends,
Please forgive me for not keeping this updated! Time got away from me big time. I will try to do better, I promise.
I am excited, Nayara and I are leaving in a matter of hours for a trip back to the States for about a month. This will be a time of refreshing and work at the same time. We are looking forward to sharing with many of you about what is going on with Amazonas.Languages English Project here in Manacapuru. We have had an eventful time this year, it has been a busy one.
The students are doing very well and we are very proud of them! With our work with the classes, we have further developed our curriculum approach. We have decided that Amazonas.Languages will be using a 2-year curriculum plan with the students. The focus continues to be getting the students speaking. I have made a brochure about this plan and I hope to get in online as soon as I can along with some videos with our students! I will use some time while in the States to try to get these things done.
Life here continues to be an adventure in joy, love, and patience! Just recently the whole city, 90,000 experienced a power outage for a little over a week! We scrambled around for ice and other needed things. It reminded me of winter storms in OK! The stores ran out of food, the city ran out of drinkable water along with other challenges not to mention the mosquitoes. Needless to say, everyone was happy when it came back on. The city did a temporary fix on the issue but it's a big deal to permanently fix the problem. This is a good time for a visit back home!
Speaking of the trip home, just for your information. We will be in Stillwater for a week (Aug 10-17). We will be speaking at New Covenant Fellowship on Aug 11 at 10am and at Hosanna Assembly of God that evening at 6pm. On Tuesday, Aug 13th at 7pm we will be having an LC Ministries Dessert and Coffee reception in the Lower Fellowship Hall area. There we will be sharing specifics about what has been going on with the ministry. We have stories to tell! I hope you can come, we would love to hug your neck!
Sorry, this is so short, I will try to have some time to write more soon. I literally need to take a shower and then we are off to Manaus to catch our flight! whoo whoo!
Hope to see you soon!
Lisa
