Slaton's World- Slaton-Style PE....MMA Training in Managua

PE Slaton-style..... MMA training in Managua

I continue to be amazed at God's provisions......

We have been searching for a martial arts school for Slate...and on an "off chance", we run into a missionary that this is his mission field MMA training and fighting AND he has Asperger's himself! As we were talking about the possibility of him and Slate meeting I wanted him to know up front that Slate had Aspergers... In my mind, I had decided that if he flinched at all, he wasn't the guy and before I got the whole word out, he responds, I have Aspergers, too! Wow!!
So Slate and Trav are in class together.... Love it. And, yes, in Spanish:)

I have to say that homeschooling is going very well... Yes, I am thoroughly surprised. He serves with me when he can and we split our lessons up in the morning and afternoon....and he is thriving. We knew he was behind, we knew he struggled and we had convinced ourselves that was okay....he would just be behind.... But we have been shown a way, that he will learn, learn it all with a good foundation at his pace....and never be behind in his class...along with learning to serve alongside us in the field. He is the happiest and least stressed that I have ever seen him.

Wasn't ever my vision, amazed. Blessed.
