September = School

And lots of it!  Homeschool is nearing the end of the third week and going well!  Hunter is cheerfully marching away and needing just a little direction here and re-direction there.  Yesterday, when faced with writing her every Wednesday rough draft, she started to pout.  But THEN!  She said, "Hey!  If I write this perfectly today I don't have to re-write it on Friday!"  YES!  So we spent a little extra time making her story spectacular from the start and we were BOTH pleased!

 "Avery is doing well also. There's a lot of material to wade through for Kindergarten, but we will get the hang of it. 

 Braelyn is being a trooper. It's hard being left on your own for hours at a time. Well, it's hard for a 3 year old. Sounds like a dream to me! But I got a workbook made up for her to draw and color and trace in. Today was her first day and it was awesome! 

Speaking of awesome, Ginger has arrived!  This dear friend visited us over 2 years ago and fell in love with the work and the island.  She returned this spring but has been doing language school on Big Island, finally arriving here on Sunday.  Oh how we rejoiced!  She plans to teach... perhaps in our Adult/Teen Education Center, perhaps in the local schools.  We are also praising Him that another addition to our island arrived almost simultaneously...a female Peace Corp Worker!  This is a surprise and a delight as Ginger will have a friend not encumbered by school time and bed time and husband time. 

We finished 2 days of registration for English classes and will begin the first lesson class today at 2pm.  Justin will start the next computer class on Monday also.  It's going to be a busy fall!  But we are excited to pour our hearts and lives out onto this island.

Thanks for your prayers and love!
