A picture of Marley for no reason but to enjoy her cuteness!
I feel that it has been forever since I last posted, come to think of it I can't remember even when it was:) I thought I would a quick update tonight since I finished early with lesson plans. I am in my last semester at BYU! You read that correctly, this girl is finally going to be done. That means that this semester I am Student Teaching. I am at an Elementary School in Provo. I am teaching second grade with a great mentor teacher. And I am loving my students!! They are so cute, especially when they spell. Some of my favorites are: ber teckt (protect), Ame licka (America), icsided (excited), gap these (capris), mee dee am (medium) and cunch tree (country). Today I was told I am robot arms because they are so skinny. My mentor teacher was asked how he gets his pants so black! They surely make me laugh each day. My favorite days are Tuesdays because I get to go out to recess with my kidlets. We play tag or some weird form of it. I get to hear a thousand stories and about all the pairs of shoes my one student has. They always hold my hand as we walk out to recess. I am sad to leave at the end of the day but also ready for some rest. This is my life for now. There are a lot of things unanswered right now like what I will do after this adventure is done or how will I pay for it all. But we are leaving it in the Lord's hands. He knows best anyways! For now we will play tag and hold hands!

You are awesome, Jody. I miss working with little kids. Hearing your stories makes me want to be back and Kaesung Academy in our little reading group. At least I'll keep entertained with your stories. :-)
I read this after you posted it and I'm just now coming back to leave my comment. I'm so excited that this is your last semester! Don't worry, you'll find a job, even if it means coming to Cambodia. :) Love you!
