OH I AM GOING TO TEACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This morning, I joyfully leaped out of bed and got ready to go to Colegio Claretiano (okay, maybe I didn't leap--it was more like a groggy roll out of bed...). After observing his math class, I got to talk with Profesor Aguilar about teaching! I'm going to teach about parallel lines intersected by a transversal on TUESDAY!!!!! WOO-HOO!!!! I'm pretty pumped about this! And slightly terrified!! Profesor Aguilar showed me the problems that I will do in class, and I wanted to have a copy of them, but I didn't have my USB thingy with me, so I returned to the colegio after my class at the university. I brought my USB and loaded what I needed onto it. I also got to talk to the director a bit. He wanted to know all about how my semester here is going. It was great talking with him--he (and all of the rest of the teachers at the colegio, really) has made me feel so very welcome at the colegio. I am so thankful for them!! When I think about all of the awesome people that I have met and of all of the love that I have recieved from them here in Arequipa... oh man, I'm just in awe!! God is so amazingly awesome and good and faithful and graceful and--AH! I just don't have the right words right now!! Ah, I don't think the right words even exist!! Thank You, God!

Tonight I'm going to a cooking class!!! I'm going to make some yummy Peruvian food, and then I'm going to eat it! And maybe, when I get back to the States, I'll make it again and share it.

This morning, God reminded me that I can have complete confidence in Him all the time and that I am hidden in Christ and that I am complete in His presence!! Oh man! He reminded me to be continually dependant on Him alone, and that in Him (and in Him only) I am satified and sustained! He wants me to just dwell in Him and be satisfied in Him!!!

Plans for this weekend: prepare to TEACH MATH IN SPANISH!!!! This will probably include a good deal of just sitting and being in awe that I'm actually getting to do this. And at some point I will also actually prepare to do the teaching, as well.

Okay, God, I am just so in awe of You right now!! Thank You so much for all of the people You've put in my life and thank You for being so good and so mighty, Jesus! Thank You for loving me and for providing for me and for the opportunity that I have to teach at Colegio Claretiano next week!!
