Getting our studies ready for when we go back to the U.S.

So we are only a week and a half away from returning to the U.S. to renew our visas. We are very excited to go see family and friends and yes have a little cup of Starbucks in my hand!!! :)
Anyway we have been letting our brothers and studies know that we will be gone for about a month. So I was praying and thinking how I can help my students while I'm gone so I thought that leaving them homework would help, well...that was a 2 week long project!!! But thanks to Jehovah I'm done. I love arts and crafts, unfortunately all my scrapbook stuff and jewelry making stuff is in the states, so I went to several local stores here and came up with a cute idea. I made some folders for most of my studies. After 2 weeks they were finally done!! I gave some of my students theirs today and I couldn't believe how excited they were!!! They said they would definitely study and do their homework. For the kids I printed out more picture activities from the jw.org website and for the older ones different things I want them to research. One of them I printed out different aspects of the fruitage of the spirit, another, each apostle and another one wanted to know about why some religions speak in tongues, so that's her homework. Printed everything out and put them in cute folders!! Now I only pray that Jehovah will keep them strong and still determined to learn about him!!
