THE KAMPOT CAMBODIA CONNECTION! -A weekly update from the field by Jonathan Trentham Elephant School News: Well this is it! We start our second semester at the Elephant English School tomorrow morning. I have personally tested every student, and after many many meetings and discussions with Lewis and the other school staff, we have finally ironed everything out. We now have all the classes rearranged, as well as students moving up, down, and sideways. Change change change will be the atmosphere of this next week, but I'm excited to see what will come of it. There are many things we are doing differently this time around. We do what we can to learn from our mistakes as well as others, and most of all we try to stay flexible and creative. God has really brought us some great students, and our goal is to serve them with professionalism and excellence, all while pointing them to Jesus. It's not easy, but God has had his hand all over the school since before it opened. There's no doubt in my mind that God has chosen the Elephant English School to have an impact on this city for Jesus Christ. God has shown all to clearly that he was present at the beginning, that He is moving in this season, and that He desires to carry this school because Christ will be glorified. It has been an honor to be a part of something this Christ centered in a place that is so dark. Recent Happenings: I dont have too much to write here. I have been super busy working at the school with testing, retesting, and figuring out where to put which students. The weather was rather cool, that was a great relief to me and the rest of the team. In the up coming weeks, I will be spending a lot of time with my nose in grammar books so my students wont catch me off guard with their overly technical questions. I'm looking forward to settling back into a groove of some sorts. The past month has been one thing after another with my schedule. I do love being flexible and keeping things new and different, but there's something to be said for finding a nice pattern and rolling with it. Maybe I'll find it sometime this semester! We'll see. I miss all of you and have been really blessed with all of the responses I've been getting. Keep them coming, and if you havent heard from me personally in a while, please feel free to send me a message, I will try to get back with you as soon as I can. PS: Thanks again for those of you who are lifting these prayer points up to the Lord. So many of you have been faithful to sow prayer into my time here. It has been a wonderful blessing.
