Summer is Over and a New Year Has Begun!

What a summer it was!  On May 27, I took a group of SVA students to Instituto Superior Adventista de Misiones (ISAM) in Argentina to learn Spanish.  ISAM was wonderful, and Argentina is awesome!!!!

In July, I taught a Summer ESL program in Massachusetts to a group of 42 Argentinian high schoolers and 26 Japanese girls!  We visited Boston and New York City.

Finally, in August, we made it back to good old New Market and SVA!

So, summer is over, and the new year has begun!  We have a great batch of ELL students this year from several countries.  I am looking forward to the best year yet at SVA!

Proverbs 3:5,6
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
