opening day.

And we're off! Whether we're ready or not. Today was the first day of classes in the new school building. As I looked over the roster of kids signed up to attend, I was pretty blown away by the numbers. We'll have around a 180 kids running in and out through the 2 room school house each day. In case you're mouth just dropped....of course they won't be there all at the same time but in 3 shifts of 3 classes each. There will be two shifts of after school programs and 1 shift of preschoolers. Pray for us as the logistics are pretty tight in running kids in and out from 8:30 to 3:30. There are 5 teachers whose names are Cristina, Camille, Kate, Robin and Weston who are running the show. Pray for them as well. For three of them, this is their first extensive time in the country and for some their first time teaching. So its going to be an exciting and probably challenging year for all!

That's so crazy Jennie...I can't believe it's already packed with kids! So exciting. You should make them pen-pal buddies with kids in the states! That'd be pretty fun.

What can I say, but God is good! In all aspects, He provides, covers and protects His work. Thanks for making us so very proud of your hard efforts. We are amazed and blessed as we wipe our tears away! Now, we look forward to a greater blessing........another grandchild! Thanks for the joy you've give us again! Love you both dearly, mom
