This week had some exciting things going on … from the snow outside, to a Missions Chapel, and meeting Izzy (one of the High Schoolers going on the trip), to figuring out the details for running a Taco Truck. Students have all been busy busy. This week we also began to talk about some of the miracles of Jesus; we read about Jesus healing the sick and calming the storm. We have also began working on a persuasive writing unit … this week we read the story “I Wanna Iguana” and we started to work on developing sound reasons to persuade someone. I was away on Wednesday, but the students had a great day with Mrs. Garnier. This nasty cold that has been going around caught up with me. I was glad for a day of rest, to recuperate, and then to be able to finish out the rest of the week. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Bible Memory:
1 John 4:7-14
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so love us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: he has give us his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be Saviour of the world.”
