The summer has come to a close and the new school year has started. Alpha and I have been enjoying a relaxing summer without having to teach, but it has also been stressful as we have spent many hours and weeks working on visa applications and interviews. After 10 weeks, Alpha was able to get a 12 day tourist visa to Germany so we could visit my parents. My next post will be about our time in Germany. Now back to the summer...
The school year ended with much joy and celebration, but also the sadness of saying goodbye. Grace International School had a large turn over of staff this year with many teachers finishing their contracts and moving on to the next chapter of their lives. Also my good friend Leslie, my adventure and travel buddy, had to return home unexpectedly. I miss her so much and can't wait till I can see her again!
The next chapter of my life with Alpha will be spent as another year in Bangladesh. I have accepted the position on Primary School Art and Secondary School Drama teacher at Grace for the coming school year. I am so excited about this change of position and cannot wait to get started with my students. The year is going to be filled with exciting projects, creativity and young imaginations!
Alpha has had and will have some more interviews at the international schools in the area, please pray he gets a job for this year.
We have a lot of work ahead of us as the school year starts. Alpha and I are starting the visa application process for him to come to the states. It is going to be long and complicated, please pray that we have patience and God makes the path clear for us.
