My life. The wonderful and the not so wonderful...

Hey all!!! :) Hope all is well with you :) sorry for the not so quick update! I promise to get better!
(the picture with the umbrella Judith is on the right. The other picture she is on the left)

Well the pictures on here are of our soon-to-be foreign exchange student :) Her name is Judith and she will be arriving here on the 6th of August :) I am absolutely thrilled to have her come and stay with us. Judith and I email everyday and exchange pictures of ourselves and our families. We have become so close already and we call each other "sister". A cool thing is that last saturday we were trying to figure out how to talk on the phone, and it wasnt working for the longest time, but just as we were about to give up my cell phone rings :) It was my beautiful sister!!! We were both so happy :) She is actually going to be calling this weekend so she can talk to the rest of her "american family". Judith continuiously tells me how grateful her and her family are to have her living in such a "lovely" family. (haha exactly what she said) It is really sweet to hear from her, plus her parents are working on keeping in contact with my parents as well. She is a sweetheart and i know you guys will love her when she gets to America :)

Things seem to be going really well for me at the moment which is great :) My dad and i are out walking almost everyday (except now he works nights for 2 weeks :() It is actually a lot of fun spending time with my dad, its been awhile now :)

The not so wonderful..........
During one of my classes today a girl told me she was pregnant and that the baby's dad wanted her to have an abortion. I told her that she shouldnt because thats a living life in there and even if the child is a mistake its not the childs fault and he/she deserves to live. She told me that she doesnt think she is "emotionally" ready to terminate her pregnancy but is unsure. I just stated my point again to her and i hope it gets through to her.
I have been sick to my stomach ever since i talked to her, im praying that she listens to me.

I just feel that things like this are happening sooner and sooner and i struggle with hearing it...

I just know that i have to pray. God will help them :)

Well other than my preacher moment today my day went well, just got back from teaching my 2nd graders at church who had a lot of energy!!!!!

Love to you all!
