Farewell PR

 Goodness, how quickly a month goes by! May was packed with busyness for me. We finished up the last two weeks of school with finals and Parent Appreciation Day. I was able to share the Gospel with about 30 adults.The kids did an awesome job with recitations, Bible Verses, and some fun skits. The parents really enjoyed seeing their kids perform. 

We had two high school graduates, and several of my first and second graders from my second trip to PR graduated from 8th grade. Many of the students from that class were still in school. Awards ceremony also took place that week, and most of my students received honor roll trophies. One of my students from my previous trip to PR was named Miss Lighthouse for high school.

Last week, I was able to take a couple days to visit some places I had not seen, and to spend time with my friend. I saw some amazing scenery including the dry forest which is sort of like a desert climate, Cabo Rojo where I took pictures of some cacti, and several lighthouses. I also took pictures of several birds I had not seen before. Yesterday, I was near San Juan, and I was able to get some pictures of a sea turtle.

Today, I flew home to Maine. I will be catching up on my mom's health to see what care she may need in the future. Please pray that she can find a good doctor who will listen to her and run the requested tests... If her health doesn't worsen and continues to get better, I will begin planning my trips to England and Europe. 

Please pray for the church and school in PR. They are in need of teachers, kitchen staff, and a financial secretary. Please pray for Mrs. Lula who was the financial secretary. She is traveling to Chicago to get some help for her health.

Please continue to pray for an ongoing situation. I am praying God will break down the strongholds which have been put in place.

Please pray for the young people who are attending our church here in Maine. Satan is trying to keep them from church and hearing the truths necessary for growth.
