H - E - double Hockeysticks week

So this has been the week from you know where...

Erin has discovered that her principal is suffering from Jekyll and Hyde syndrome. Erin had a meeting with her principal earlier in week that turned in to a war zone. Please keep the principal from Silver Valley Elementary in your prayers. She is not a very nice person, and has completely alienated Erin as well as some of the other teachers in the school. It is to the point that Erin has considered leaving the school and taking the consequences that come with it. We feel that the Lord has put Erin in this school for a reason. She is desperately in love with her students and does not want to leave them in the middle of the year. These kids live in almost complete poverty with extremely varied family situations. Erin may the the one stable attribute in their lives. She also feels that her emotional health may be at serious risk in this school due to the outrageousness of the principal. Keep Erin in your prayers as well as the school itself. They have a new assistant principal starting Monday, and this could be a very good thing. Pray for her students and for the other teachers.

Benji is dealing with some work related issues, and needs prayers as well. He is struggling with some things that have happened in the past week, and needs prayers that he will find peace. Please remember him as well.

We love you all and are so thankful that we have a strong christain family and friend circle.
