Quick Update from Cochrane

I just wanted to say Hi from Cochrane, Alberta, Canada! I've got a few minutes this morning so I wanted to let you know I'm alive. Crazily enough, I've had two phone calls from principals this week that need middle school math teachers. I've had to politely but firmly turn them down. I am in full coach mode during T-ball camp here. We are working with 3-7 year olds and I'm loving it. I have all the girls in the camp in my group and they are doing GREAT! Coach Bo, who has very little voice, has been impressed with my coaching abilities (yes, Bo is about my age and available). We played a game girls against boys at the end of camp yesterday and had an absolute blast. These poor kids don't know where to go or what to do but it's amazing how much they've learned in the past two days. We taught them how to hold a bat and to hit on Monday. Yesterday was the throwing and catching day. The coaches all had to paint our noses blue so the kids would have a target to aim at. I went all out. My girls' team goes by the name of Wildcats, even though some of our members wanted to be the cheetahs or the horsies. Well I've got to go get ready for this day. Thanks to those of you who have been faithfully praying. God is moving through Canada and allowing us to be a part of that work these next two weeks.
