Thursday and Friday were the 2010 G20 Summit in Seoul. This is basically a gathering of about 18 to 20 nations to discuss global economical issues. Because I had to work, I was not able to attend, otherwise I would have been there! I was interviewed back in September regarding my thoughts about the upcoming summit (at that time I had no idea what is was let alone what it was about). I had an opportunity to video record a message. When I asked who was going to see it, I was told all of the "big" people. My recorded message was (of course) about education and giving more money to the rural schools. Hopefully, it was seen and heard.
President Barack Obama was in Seoul for the Summit. A friend of mind was able to actually meet him and shake his hand! They even exchanged a few encouraging words! How AWESOME is that!
Friday I taught my 3rd grade students a "Merry Christmas" lesson. Keep in mind, I secretly knew where I was trying to go with this conversation. Every moment is a teachable one! Here was our conversation:
Me: Do you know Christmas?
Students: (with excitement) Santa Clause! (others) Yes! Happy Birthday!
Me: Happy Birthday? What mean?
Little Girl and Boy: Happy Birthday Jesus!
Me: (with my heart smiling) YES! Very good! It's Jesus' Birthday!
When you pray I ask that you not only continue to keep me in your prayers, but please also pray for my friends. As Lexi prepares for the LSAT next month, pray that God gives her wisdom, encouragement, and continued direction. And pray too for Yatarra, that God continue to lead, guide, and direct her steps.
Enjoy the pictures. These were the winners from the "Create your Own City" assignment that I had them do!
