The Beginning of a New Season

    Currently I am sitting in a café in Antigua enjoying a piece of chocolate cake. There is nothing new about me eating chocolate cake, but this week should give me clarity as to what I will be doing next year.
    Tuesday I am going to go to a school on the other side of the city to chat with them about working for them starting in August. The school is primarily for missionary kids, so I would be teaching in English (boo). I have some important things to think about before accepting this job.
    First of all they don't have a regular education classroom opening. They have a PE position available and 2 positions to shadow a special needs child. Right now the PE position sounds like the most fun. Going to work each day to play with kids all day sounds ideal. I love kids with special needs, but sitting in another person's classroom sounds like torture. I am probably too type-A to do that job. I believe I will have better clarity about which job I should take after I have spoken to the principal in person.
    I am torn about working at this school. I loved helping home-school some of our missionaries' kids this year. At the same time, I was also in-charge of The education (homework & tutoring) of the 12 Guatemalan children that live in the house with me. It saddens me to think that I won't be in the Guatemalan schools.
    I have learned a lot about the Guatemalan schools, and I would really like to improve the education system. The level of education is far below America. I have found that sometimes the kids aren't succeeding, because the teachers haven't been trained in best practices.
    The biggest draw of this school is that they will pay my attorney fees to get my Permanent Residency. My reasoning for taking this job may sounds selfish, but I considered this perk to be a sign. When the director mentioned an attorney doing the run around for my PR for free on the phone, I was ready to sign-up. This is the next step in adopting. God couldn't have made it easier for me. I feel I will be at this school next year. This week is a big week and hopefully by the end of it, I will know the job God has for me.
As always, thanks for your prayers.
