Here we are, Las Professoras Mariel Stevens and Tiffany Hodge. Mariel has truly been my angel, translating on the days I just can't seem to find the words, and always there to get onto one of the kids if they aren't paying attention. She is one of the very few Dominicans who speaks a lot of English, and at 15 years old that's quite an accomplishment! Her father is Steven and he teaches the older teenagers and adults and travels around to different areas teaching English. He taught Mariel and has since enlisted her help as a secretary over at one of the near-by schools. Mariel will be attending the University this fall and I know she will do amazing things in this world as she has a heart for God a love for people!
And here is Mariel and I with our crazy students. In front you see Hector, Melkaide, and Edwing trying to be "men" as men don't smile in pictures here. I'd tell you everyone's names but most I wouldn't know how to spell! These kids are my pride and joy here, some of them call me "Momi" as I am the older teacher and at times I do feel like a momma when one of the kids gets something right and I start jumping for joy. :-)
Please Pray for the lives and well being of these children, but more importantly pray that each of them will come face to face with their Heavenly Father and that they will one day choose Christ and be saved. God Bless and I hope you enjoy the photos.
