What's going on?

I have to say I enjoy all of my jobs here. The Lord has gifted me in just the right ways to be able to serve his children. I haven't updated you on my jobs here since my kids from U.A.E left. First of all I should mention that I have moved into an all girls home. I am living with some of the campuses finest. We have12 girls ages 7-18, our orphanage secretary, a teacher from our school on campus, the house parents, and their two children living in the house. I have truly enjoyed living in this house for a number of reasons but lately our one bathroom hasn't been starting off my morning right. :)  I have been praying to get over this issue.
As for jobs, I have been given a lot of responsibility and a bit of decision power that honestly shocks me. I have earned the higher-ups on campus' trust so I'm able to talk about change that doesn't fall on deaf ears. Praise him! My biggest responsibility is taking care of the long term missionaries and the short term missionaries. You Americans eat up a lot of my time....Good thing I love you guys. I handle everything from helping long term missionaries renew their passports, to solving conflicts between Guatemalan staff and missionaries, to being a tour guide during a trip to Antigua. I can't say enough about how much I enjoy this part of my life.
Probably the coolest job I have is homeschooling one of our middle school kids. She wasn't succeeding in the school on campus so the houseparents and us asked to home-school her. The board, director, and principal agreed, so I am now her stay-at-home teacher. This has been a very rewarding experience and a great way to practice Spanish. Here grades have greatly improved.  Woohoo!
There are other little jobs, conflicts, and stuff always happening, but these are the big changes that I forgot to tell you.
