A New Term Begins at our School

 

Today was the day that our teachers were suppose to report for orientation and preparation for the school year.  Precious and Caroline have returned.  However, Erna, our teacher from South Africa, has had to return to Port Elizabeth where her mother is in intensive care.  Please pray for her mother and for her.

 

Today Alicia arrived with Steve, her husband, and she is an elementary school teacher.  So she will be helping with the teaching for the next 1 ½ weeks.  Also the 3 from MN will be helping.  We begin the year with 11 children who have not attended our school before and with 4 who were only here for about 2 weeks before we closed for vacation.  Most of those children do not understand much English.  So it will be a very interesting time. 

 

The first double classroom at the new school is almost done.  So we are hoping to be able to move at the end of the week.  So this month will be a time of changes and transitions.
