Jelly Belly's
While I was at home my dad gave me some Jelly Belly's. The only difference was these weren't your typical Jelly Beans. The flavors varied from baby wipes, skunk spray, booger, moldy cheese, vomit, and black pepper. They were also mixed with a few good flavors. I told them they were trick jelly beans and they had to figure out what flavor they had. To my surprise the kids actually loved it and asked if they could play it every Friday. Aww the joy of entertaining kids.
Curiosity Strikes Again
You know how parents always say, "You'll never truly know what its like to have kids until you have kids of your own." Well I think I'm getting some good practice in on how curious kids really are.
I had just gotten my class to line up when all of the sudden one of my students comes over and starts tapping me saying, "Miss Miss Goodman’s arm is stuck!" My first thought was his arm is stuck in the book shelf near by but I was definitely wrong with that conclusion. You know those huge rolls of paper with the whole in the middle. I mean come on you know you have looked at one before and thought to yourself, "I wonder if my arm could fit in there." Well that is exactly what Goodman did. As I gave a little tug to pull his arm out the paper roll, the paper would just get tighter. I knew if I drew to much attention all of my class would get out of line and come over to see what all the commotion was about. So I turned Goodman around and said stay here and don't move. I quickly explained the next assignment and sent the class back to the classroom. I turned right around to try and figure out how I was going to get Goodman's arm out of the paper roll when I see him slowly walking out the door rubbing his arm and acting as if nothing had ever happened.

New SM's
It has been amazing to see how much God is in control of all situations. Three of the five SM's this year in Saipan did not return after Christmas. Although it was a little stressful trying to find people to replace them, we soon realized that God had it all under control.
I must say I was little nervous as to who was going to come to Saipan because I had become so close with my old roommates that I was unsure as to how well I would get along with my new one. But it all worked out. We had two new SM's come and fill two positions. One was Sacha Kravig and the other was Troy Breakie. I have known Sacha since I was really little and she is very outgoing, adventurous, fun, loving person which is exactly what I need. I also have known Troy since high school. Our families are very close and I think of him like a brother. I couldn't be happier with the replacements that God has put in Saipan. It’s definitely going to be a good last half of the school year.
