Boy this blog is long overdue! I really apologize for the time lapse. It took us quite some time to host the team from Grace Church in MD as well as to settle into a school routine. I think we are in a groove and it allows me a chance to catch you up on things.
The biggest event in the life of our family and ministry has been the start of the school year! I think we were ready, but it still has been such an adjustment. Sam and Josh go to the Parent-Run School of SIL. I work there 3 mornings per week as an assistant to the director, Mary Santos. I really enjoy getting out and pitching in there. It is right up my alley and is a joy to me. Josh is in grade 4 and Sam in grade 2. Sam has two other boys in his class...and that's it! Josh has a total of 8 students, including him. They are adjusting well, but don't enjoy the homework load.
Gaby is going to Rain Forest International School also of SIL. The school goes from grades 7-12. Her class is very international, indeed - students from America, Switzerland, Cameroon, Korea, the Netherlands, South Africa, and maybe one or two others. She has adjusted pretty well, but we are still getting the hang of the study habits and homework load. She leaves with me and the boys around 7am and returns anywhere from 4-5 depending on her schedule that day and week. A big change for our young lady.
I need to work some schoolwork with Sam and so will continue more later. Blessings and thanks for praying for us...we love you.
