Well as most of you know I have taken on the role of athletic director here at the school while the person who was doing the job is in the US for medical reasons. This involves finding indonesian teams to play against and basically to answer any questions that people have regarding athletics here at the school. This past week the volleyball season concluded and now it is indoor soccer season here at HIS. Should be interesting. That also means that Janna no longer has to coach the volleyball and has more time now to pursue other things.
I have begun coaching an Indonesian basketball team on thursdays after school. The first week there were maybe 15 people and then the word got out, the next week there were around 40 kids. We will see what happens today. I have also been asked to start teaching some ESL classes to some of the local guys. I would love to do this. Janna has already begun with about 30 kids that come to our house all the time to jump on the trampoline. I would be teaching some older guys. We are thinking about converting our garage into a classroom area. Please pray for us as we reach out to the local community in these ways. We always need extra strength as we speak in a different language.
Jalen just got his first report card and he is doing great. He still needs work on reading and writing but we think he is progressing and learning the things that he needs to learn. We are currently trying to get some tools for him to help him in the classroom setting. There are now things that can magnify up to a screen. We feel that this would drastically reduce the amount of energy that he uses to focus on the small words.
Kaya is getting over her tropical diseases and we thank God for healing her body.
Please continue to pray. God Bless! Tuhan Berkati!
