Mr Vander Deen - Teacher

Congratulations to my wonderful husband for a great start on his new career as a teacher! Mike taught his very own class for the first time on Tuesday, welcoming 26 grade 6 students into his well-decorated classroom. Things are going very well, and both teacher and class are enjoying themselves. All the hard work and preparation over the last month and, really, for the last few years, are paying off now as the rubber hits the road. May the Lord continue to bless your hard work as you prepare these young minds for service in His kingdom!

Congrats to you and Mike for a good week. To Mike because I'm sure he's a most excellent teacher. To you because you're his lovely wife who's his support behind the scenes, and that's just as important.
Love you both and hope to see you sometime soon.

:D I can't wait to hear how it has all gone this week. A lot of the education profs at RUC have been asking about you guys, wondering how it's been going. Know that you have lots of people cheering you on! :)

Congrats Mike on surviving your first week. Keep up the good work!
And for you, Rach for surviving the operation two Friday evenings ago in which we intrepid aspiring surgeons removed your stitches...

"Intrepid aspiring surgeons" removing my stitches? I survied quite fine - I cut them myself remember. You did very well yourself as the overseer of the procedure. Perhaps you should consider med school?
