Joyce's Last Day at Little Lambs

Friday was Joyce's last day at Little Lambs Pre-School. In addition to a going away party for Joyce they held a pre-school graduation in which two of Joyce's students graduated to kindergarten. Joyce helped start Little Lambs two years ago and has really enjoyed her time there working with the children. She has been able to (amazing to me) teach those 3-4 year olds the beginning steps of reading and have real impact on their lives. She also has been able to build relationships with their parents and share her life with many of them. She was honored by the school's recognition of her service and enjoyed the feast in her honor.

Next year Joyce will be teaching English a few hours per week at the Japanese school. She see this as a real opportunity to be an influence for Christ in a place where his name is not often heard. This will involve less hours than she was putting in at Little Lambs so Joyce will also be able to teach a "community ESL" course at PIBC. She will also continue to work on finishing up her BA degree at PIBC. Right now she is looking forward to seeing Michael, Samantha, Titus and Courage on Wednesday in Los Angeles.
