Yep, today is a snow day here in Huron County. Well, I guess we are only delayed by two hours for now, but may turn into a full day off! I woke up early looked outside to see a beautiful coating of snow on the ground, had my coffee/b-study with hubby, woke kids up, got ready, and out the door. I pulled into school noticing only a few cars. Then it dawned on me...could school really be cancelled? Yep...one inch of snow in Bad Axe = no school! Unbelievable! I guess if you don't turn the TV or local radio station on in the morning, you won't find out! Well, it gives me a minute to sit and relax and have another cup of coffee and some fun with the kids.
Today is my last day teaching Title 1. I have a sub job lined up for tomorrow and Friday, so I'm not really taking a break. I really love being at the school with my kids. I love being with the other kids and teaching them new things. Yesterday I had an opportunity to spend some time with a little girl who has such a hard home life. I love the chance just to show these kids that someone really loves them. It is hard, though. I just want to take some of them home, give them a shower, dress them in clean clothes, feed them healthy meals, and teach them about Jesus. It is so sad watching them go home to a bad situation. I am just so thankful though that I have an opportunity to be a missionary in this school and also teach my kids about people who come from all walks of life. Just the other day Madison had to bring a little girl who we had been praying for down to my room to show me how she got a A on her first spelling test. I guess Madison told her teacher that her mom would want to know this exciting news and congratulate this little girl, too. That made me feel so good! Life isn't always easy, but it sure is rewarding!
Well, off to play a game with my kids!

Hi Tam- Snow Day?! I am enjoying the sun and 70 degree weather today...although I am so looking forward to seeing everyone of course, but for now I am packing, and amazed that I am wearing sandals still!:)
TT,
So glad to hear from you (and Katie too.) Thank you for staying in touch after all these years. I'm starting to get better at it now that I'm home. It's so much fun being a mom. I love seeing pictures of your kids....she looks so much like you! Hi to J. Love you,
Sal
