Substitute Teaching:

This week has been an a full week and the Lord has blessed me with many opportunities to substitute teach at CAJ. So far I have filled in for 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th, 12th, industrial arts, and PE for Kindergarten, 1st grade and 3rd grade.

Prayer Requests:

1. For me to set aside the best time of my day for the Lord
2. To dedicate more time to prayer
3. For more opportunities to substitute teach
4. For Joy Bible Camp (JBC) that is quickly coming up
5. That I will get a full-time teaching job next year (I have applied to the U.S. military schools that are in Japan and I will be waiting to see if there is any response but there are not many vacancies at this time because so many left during the earthquake)
