Best news on the block is that Aunt Sharon is here for 2 weeks. We just needed some family. We are so thankful. She's earning her keep, running the NICU, helping with homeschool, dish duty, keeping Nora in books (that girl can ask you to read 13 books and still want more!) and loving us well.
Sofie, well, Sofie hasn't changed.
She has started adding "reward" suggestions for her weekly goals, and apparently we are gifting too low :). If anyone ever gets bored, we'll loan you this girl :)
This week as a few schools tried to open, under the radar, the girls school called and asked us to send them. We took a major mama-leap of faith, and this was their fourth first-day of school picture. 
You really can't blame them :) They had a GREAT week at school, 9-12 and were overjoyed to be back with their friends, finally with their new teachers, and to be out of the house and have all the school "news" in their lives again.
Lily and her kitty, and Sofie and her Granny.
The other day I found Nora, having dragged the box over to the counter, helping Ben get into the Jello :) These four keep me ON my toes!
Despite all the troubles, our classes continue to be full, praise the Lord, and for His protection of our staff and students, every day.
Tuesday staff prayer meeting Lucner shared more about the ins and outs of the revival of faith happening, the pressure he got from many pastors to hold services only in churches, the pressure he got as the leader for his responsibility if someone got hurt.
Lucner's sheer demeanor of faith and courage is such rich encouragement, and this Tuesday prayer thing is just a joy...as those who are strong encourage the weak, and the next week, all those roles have changed.
The students have been loving getting (and working through the English!) from your letters of prayers and encouragement...thank you! Again, on the days we are weak, your faith makes us strong!
My two hair twisters :)
Friday night we spent with our good friends down the road who left today for five or six weeks, and tomorrow we'll worship at Belony's church so I can FINALLY meet their sweet new baby, and then we're off to see off some other friends! All these goodbyes are hard, all the ups and downs of life...so thankful for His constant faithfulness, unchanging. We need Him, and He continues to be enough. Thank you for your precious prayers!
