FUN SPIRIT DAY!!!

Well here I am writing after having a crazy fun week at school!:)

Thursday we had a highschool from state of Washington in the US visiting. They helped out with the students and on Friday lead both upper and lower school assemblies!!!!

On Friday, we had pajama day to raise money for the flooding in Northern Albania. Each child paid 100 lek ( which is about 1.00 USD) and all the money went to help the albanians there! What a great way for the students to get involved.

Secondly our upper school student council is going there next friday to figure out how we can get even more involved there. What an amazing opportunity. I love working here!

i have posted some pics of us all dressed up yesterday in our pj's!

Observations from...

Hi ,

As most of you know I have been sick for almost 3 weeks, and out of school for 2 and half weeks. I returned to school today!

When I walked in, it felt like I had not been there in ages. People were just so nice, and considerate. I am definitely loved.

One thing that I am observing here at school., is how much an impact that you really do put into kids lives. The first thing the kids noticed, was that I was at attendance. I got hugs and said we miss you, and so glad that you are back. Now I really know that they like me and I am making an lasting impact in their lives. It helps to see from the outside looking in!

Thanks for your prayers. I am still not to my normal self. I feel weak and I have only been at school for about 2 hours today. I am leaving in about an hour because I am not coming back fully ( all day ) until next week.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers:)

Thanks for your suppport in my ministry...

In His Arms,

Ashley
