Premier Academy





This semester the Lord has opened an amazing door that, through faith, we have stepped into. Tyler and I have been given the incredible privilege of coaching students in sports at Premier Academy. I am coaching girls basketball, and Tyler is coaching guys American Football. It has been so much fun building relationships and meeting so many kids through sports! The girls didn't know ANYTHING, and I mean anything about basketball a couple of months ago. We started from square one: how to dribble, pass and shoot... went over simple things like the difference between offense and defense. Day one was hilarious. But now, they are actually improving and getting better! We have been scrimmaging and playing fun games, and having a ball! I seriously laugh the whole time during Club. It's such a joy to serve in this way!

Through this experience, I'm re-learning that God can overcome in any situation. Against all odds, and when everything seems impossible, it is not for Him.

He has given us so many opportunities to love people in this Hindu community, be Christ to them, and just share life with them. (1 Thessalonians 2:8)

This past weekend we were invited to a sweet 16 birthday party- which was SO fun! haha It was unlike any party I had ever been to. Dance floor, strobe lights, DJ, big white tent set up in the backyard with lots of chairs and tables for dinner... it was a big deal! Tyler and I went to the celebration and got to meet tons of students and connect with the ones we know and love already. It was fun seeing them outside of school, and in a more fun/relaxed environment.






Two weekends ago I was asked to help lead a group of students on our ropes course at Lukenya Getaway! It was a blast. There were 19 Premier students who came.
