This week has been very quiet with the seniors in Rome. The hallways just do not seem as full as they normally do, and the noise level is significantly lower.
My study hall numbers were at an all-time low. This is what the room looked like today:
Only one student! The other was in the bathroom at the time of this photo.
I actually had 3 students, but 2 of them alternated days. One of my violin students joined study hall for a few days this week because he had injured himself in PE and couldn’t play.
For devotions this week, we talked about what it means to be prepared to give a defense for the hope we have within us. Today, we prayed for specific friends of ours who are not believers, using Colossians 4:2-6 as a guide.
The seniors arrived partway through study hall, so of course the two kids ran out and had a joyful reunion with the seniors. Relationships here are very close, so when kids are gone for a week, the return is treated like a return from summer vacation.
With the bus pulling up right outside study hall window, the kids had lots of distractions!
Looking ahead:
Saturday – run (?), training for ACSI, movie night, skype!!
Sunday – nature hike to prepare for Rachel’s science class, Bible study/London trip planning, Eis Cafe/orchestra talk with Katie, soccer
Monday – Orchestra is playing in open recital
Wednesday – Solos and duets are playing at the nursing home next to the school
