Passing the Torch

Today was our last day of teaching. Monday the new teachers start. Two of them stopped by today to sign their contracts and get books and information. Speaking for myself (Marg), I have enjoyed teaching but am glad to turn it over as we transition into other work. Full time teachers here apparently teach just 10 classes a week. Bev and I have been teaching 25 which could explain our tiredness! The heat really makes a difference here, especially at our age. We may also change our living quarters this weekend. Jacob, who owns the house we are staying in, is coming this weekend. This means there will likely be several others coming with him. So we are hoping to go to the Catholic Compound. They are full but if Sister Maureen leaves tomorrow we can have her room. If not, we will see what other options are available. Life here is always unpredictable and interesting. Our director, Philip, has been late returning from vacation visiting his wife and children in Kenya and we have not been able to communicate with him for more than a week. We learned today that he had malaria, was hospitalized, and was unconscience. So we are very glad to know he is feeling better! He probably will not return until next week. It will take his body awhile to gain strength. Please keep us in your prayers as we meet with community leaders here. We are on some thin ice in terms of what all has to happen for this school to become a reality. Only God can make this happen! Marg
