Just got back from staff retreat. Great couple of days connecting with new and old staff. Dave and Deb Walker talked about a grace-based community. I love them. Went to a retreat center in Caliraya, which reminded me a lot of Pana in Guate, but a lot hotter. The center was above a lake with a volcano facing it - beautiful, but made me miss Pana.
Going to get a cell phone today, yea! It's weird not having one. I will be excited to get it and start texting (that's all people do here.)
Start official school business Monday, but first I get to have some great fellowship with my mission here. I'm pretty excited about it.
Got to head out. FYI- Most of this blog will be stream of consciousness stuff until I get a handle of life here, so stick with me.
Love you all,
Kelli

I'm Here!
I arrived Sunday night and have been busy ever since. New staff orientation started the next day and it's been go go go. I've managed to handle jet lag decently well, but I am still a little foggy. We will see how long it takes me to feel completely turned around.
I head off to staff retreat tomorrow where Dave and Deb Walker are speaking on grace-based community. It's been a while since I've seen the Walkers, so it will be fun to catch up.
My official schedule of teaching is three 8th-grade English classes and the school's yearbook called the "Tiwalan." It's a lot that I'm not prepared or qualified for so I'm going to need a lot of God's help to pull it off.
I'm rushing off to get things done, like change money and get stuff for my apartment.
Keep up the prayers and love you all,
Kelli

Last day in CSprings
It's my last day in Colorado Springs!
I can't believe all this started in January and here I am packing (late of course) to move across the world. It's been a whirlwind of emotions and "see you laters." Before I go I get to spend time with Erin and her family in California. I get on the plane headed for Manila Saturday afternoon.
Please pray for me as I follow God's plan for my life. It's going to be a long transition, but I'm ready to get started and hopefully be a blessing to the kids at Faith Academy.
Thank you for wanting to read what I'm up to and be sure to keep in touch.
