Day 10 - Friday, 10 June 2011
Posted by Daphne Nicely on Friday, June 10, 2011
We reported to Grace Christian School (GCS) and after breakfast once again participated in several English Class. After the 4 and 5 year old class ended, we were asked to class sit for a spell again, but this time we didn't even have a video. It looked and sounded like they were all simultaneously saying, "He took that from me" "I had it first" "He pushed me" "She poked me in the eye"... Now don't get me wrong I love children of any and every age and work well with them under most any circumstance and I'm not at all complaining but... Praise the Lord! Someone arrived at the school and invited us to tour two different properties that are being considered for expansion and/or relocation of the school. Does the Lord have perfect timing or what?
Both properties have wonderful prospects (location, room for growth, community redevelopment...) and both present some challenges. This will be a matter of of prayer and seeking God's will. We returned to GCS for lunch and then we headed over to PC 3/4.
More time connecting with the teens and time spent with the younger children as well. Afterwards we headed over to the Beer Festival with 2 young men from PC 3/4 to do some more people watching. On the way we ran into one of our translators, Alina and asked her to come with us. We took Alina and the 2 young men to a fast food restaurant that she recommended. While ordering our food a young man that I had met 5 years ago, and who I saw at the young adult center last Saturday, came in to place an order. I asked him to join us as well. We returned to strolling around the Beer Festival. I know the music will go until at least 10:30pm, but I still don't know when it will stop.
Tomorrow Dean and I will be attending a conference on how to transform your marriage here at Grace Baptist Church. After ministering to and serving so many other people over the past four years I'm really looking forward to this and think it will be really good for us as a couple and a family. The guest speaker is none other than our own pastor, Brother Gearl.
Once again it sprinkled throughout the day and even rained at times. Didi finished her course of antibiotics today and seems to be doing much better. I should finish mine tomorrow. Dean's condition is not really improving and he may change to a different antibiotic.
