Modified Speed Bump

What in the world, you might ask, am I talking about? Well, you're in luck... I'm going to tell you. Remember that awful speed bump right outside of 915 La Paz? Yeah, it's about high time someone noticed how many cars bottomed out on that thing. They've modified it, painted it to be visible and last night I experienced this new - and wondrous - one might add, modification. About time. In other 915 news, Marisa informed me that rumor has it that a young professor and his wife will be moving in to rent The Home. I think they should have had an application process personally - that we reviewed. Alas, apparently people don't care about us. Whatever.

Ok... on a more serious note, though, I would covet your prayers this week. My interview is coming up on Monday, April 21. It's from 8:15-9:45. First, I teach in English, then in Spanish and then do my interview. While I have a great relationship with the students, staff, etc., I know that I am up against some pretty tough competition - most recently, a student from UCSB that I know, a girl who has taught in inner city LA and finally, a male with the last name Ramirez. It leads me to believe that his Spanish is better than mine, plus he's a male - which, as you all know - I am not. Ok, but to be honest: this would be my dream come true, quite literally. Not only have I wanted to teach since age 4, but in a bilingual school!? Are you kidding me? I want the job badly and have not admitted until recently that I will be very sad if I don't get it. I know that God has the perfect plan and a way to open doors if/when He wants me there, but that is hard to focus on right now. I would love your prayers for peace, comfort and rest over the next few days (I've had a few rough nights of sleep). And, I'd love them on Monday for confidence, patience, wisdom and grace as I teach and interview. Thank you all so very much from the bottom of my heart. I wish I could see your faces on Monday morning before I went... and when I came home. I love you and miss you and wish we had Brew Crew tomorrow morning.
