On May 7th we began our third (and final) term for this academic year. The rainy season has also begun in earnest and we are thankful that we were given a very timely gift from generous brethren to make some of the classrooms more water-proof to keep the students and classroom materials dry during the heavy tropical rainstorms.
We were glad to see all the students back in class and to also welcome a few more short-term volunteers to our team. They contribute to our students' learning experience with their help of French tutoring, sports (PE), and teaching assistance. We also hope that their time with us gives them the unique opportunity of experiencing a truly Christian and caring environment in an African country.
On a personal level, we have had another spin on the emotional carrousel with Matthew's mom bringing him to live with us after he was hospitalized again and then taking him away again after two happy weeks with us. We keep praying and hoping that his extended family will intervene soon and in all things trusting God and trying to be available to His leading. Thank you all so much for your support through prayers and covering our needs to be here answering His call and striving to build the Kingdom. So much more has been going on but time to write is oft too short!
