Moldova... in God's hands

Greetings from Moldova,
I would like to thank all of you that are praying for me.  It encourages me so much that you do.  This week I began teaching English.  I officially have sixteen students separated into two classes.  They are both for beginners, though the levels within the classes vary.  I was very nervous when I started teaching my first two classes of the week; thankfully, Michelle (my supervisor) was there for support and to make sure I am paid attention to.  After each class that she attended, she very graciously commented on the class and told me hints on teaching my students better (according to their culture).  I am very grateful to her for doing that. One thing I am having trouble with though is keeping the balance between the varying levels within my class, especially my second one.  Those that know a lot already either act bored, or translate everything I say (which is not good in the long run for the students who really want to know English). 
Next week, Michelle, Emily, and I  are bringing some girls from the church to a village called Cornesti.  There we will be staying two days and running a children's program and talking to young women.  We hope that the girls who are going with us will make this their ministry and will keep going even after "the missionaries" leave. 
One interesting thing that I have learned here, is trying everything to fix something, before trying to buy another.  I was given a permanent marker to write on a whiteboard one day for my class (it was written in Russian)... after using everything from hand wipes to toilet cleaner to try and clean the board, Olga (a girl who works at the office of Crossover here in Moldova) used a Clorox type thing.  The whiteboard went white again... though the glaze did come off.  But instead of buying a new board... I just erase the new marker writings with a wet sponge.  It may be different, but It works :D.
Please pray for Emily as she tries to think up ways to reach out to the community, especially through children's ministry.
Please pray for me as I try to teach my student's, that I will continue to give my classes to God and rely on Him for strength and for wisdom in handling my class for their good and not for my own.
Please pray for Michelle as she is not feeling well, that God will give his strength to do all that she has ahead of her and for the rest she needs.
Please pray for my students that God will bless them with understanding.
Please continue praying for the local church here, that they continue to reach out to the community who is trying so hard to find more (of anything).
Thank you so much for your encouragement.
