Spring Break!

We had a great English chapel today and a great Friday.  Everyone was a bit giddy with a five-day weekend ahead (Spring Break is Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday), and while it was hard keeping everyone focused in class, it's been fun to hear about everyone's plans.

For your prayers, Monday, 17 students and Belony will be hitting an area near the airport with a full day of evangelism, hoping to start working towards a church plant in this zone.

Tomorrow, 3 students (Gesner, Jean-Marc and Devicour) are joining Hannah and Julie for a mobile medical clinic in an area about an hour from here.  They'll be meeting with patients for prayer, encouragement and evangelism.

Lots of others mentioned lots of different ministry projects...having three days off allows for three days they don't normally have to be a part of their church and community ministry.

Tonight, Julie, Hannah and Bill joined us all for a night of burgers, catching up and playing games...man, we miss these two special women.  Having them here for a week makes it seem like they never left...We wish they never did!

(John, with the help of EVERYONE, working on funnel cakes)

And tomorrow (still pinching ourselves) Matt, Lily and I are doing a quick jump out to Miami.  We'll spend the weekend there (just a 2.5 hour flight from here) with my dad, sister and new brother-in-law, and then Monday we have a doctor's appointment scheduled just to check up on Sophie.

Thank you, EJ and Mia, for getting me the appointment! (After several frustrating days of trying to contact doctors through our internet/phone system only to be shut down because I am no one's full-time patient, Mia and EJ got on it, pretended to be me, and called around until they found someone that WOULD take me...as long as we pay up front :)

We are VERY excited about a few days out, a few days of ice cream (that might just be me), the opportunity to see family and for the rare opportunity to see a doctor.  We'll be back first thing Wednesday, getting ready for the students to return Wednesday night and for class on Thursday.
