School is done and Jalen is sick. Of course once all the action is done everyone gets sick. We had a great last week of school and we are sad to see friends leaving. Friends that are grads and also friends that have decided to leave the field. This morning I brought our good friends to the airport and then went to our other friends house to help them pack their house never to return. Sad times. Last night was grad and that also was emotional as this years seniors were a very special group.
God is directing people both to the field and away from it. It is exciting to watch people following after God's direction for their lives. Here on earth we do wish that good friends could stay in our lives forever, but we have to say goodbye.
Kaya and Jalen finished their classes well. Jalen will be entering grade 3 and Kaya will enter grade 1 next year. Kaya is a little artist and really enjoys drawing with chalk, pastels, pencil crayons, or whatever she can get her hands on. Jalen is active and is really enjoying rollerblading. We bought rollerblades from our friends that are leaving and Jalen is learning at an incredible rate. I also bought some and have been trying to teach Jalen some good Canadian things on skates: crossovers, how to stop, how to accelerate quickly, how to jump...
I am so proud of our children. Paul and Karen Juneau have just arrived here and are now hoping that their crate from Salitiga will get here soon so that they can move out of the guesthouse and into their home on the MAF base. What a treat to be reunited with our friends.
May God continue to bless you all as your school years draw to a close.
