Tidbits from my week...

Hey everyone,

I know, I know...its been forever.  You're probably thinking this girl has got a million things to tell...well...as it happens days kinds of squish together and it turns out you can't really remember everything that happened sometimes...  But here's what I've got.

The picture to the right is some 9th-12th grade ladies and I, who have been coming for Bible study.  I believe I've mentioned it before that I'm co-leading with another lady, however she's been away traveling so it has been just me and the girls.  The girls are amazing and I've been loving getting to know each them more.  Anyway, when I've had the ladies we've been going through a study called Discovering God-which has been awesome!!  So far we have been learning a lot about God's character and who he is, while studying spirit beings, creation, the fall, Cain & Abel, the Flood...  If you feel so inclined--pray for the study that God would use the study to open eyes and ears to the Truth.

Let's see...it has been FREEEZing here ever since we came back from Christmas break!!  Anywhere from -20 to -50....  However, within the freezing coldness I have gone on 2 snow machine rides and climbed the hill in -40 degree whether  :)  Not sick yet!! hahaha.  January has flooooown by and I feel like I'm running to catch up!

This past Saturday we had an optional training I went to about learning how to incorporate technology in to teaching.  The focus was on Garage Band.  If you happen to be on facebook there is a simple podcast I created for one of the activities, where I'm reading a poem by Shel Silverstein.  It was really cool to see all the things you can do, and looking forward to using it more in the classroom with students.

This week on Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday night there will be Eskimo dancing!!  I believe there are about 4 other villages coming to participate.  It is a great time to be out in the community and get to know people.  Also, the more you watch the dancing you realize each one tells a story about the culture.  Stay tuned for pictures, I'll make sure my memory card is ready to go this time   :)

Hope you're all doing well, and I miss you bunches!!
