YAY!! We have completed a successful first week of school!  It went very well.  I have 11 students currently.  Everything generally went very smoothly.  Thanks for all the prayers.  I certainly felt them.  More pictures on the way.

updated classroom

Hi everyone!  We start school on Monday! Thanks for all the prayers....the school is nearly completed.  I just wanted to put up some after shots to contrast the before ones.  Hope you all are doing well.

School

We had parent orientation tonight!  It was fun.  School has been postponed until next Monday, the 24th.  We are all happy about that because no one's room is ready.  Thanks to everyone who prayed though because much progress has been made.  My room is very close to being completed!!!! Happy day.  I will post pictures soon.  Please pray for all the teachers and staff as we prepare.  God is so faithful.

My Room

So I got to see my room today.  How exciting!  The color scheme is blue and chocolate.  Obviously, these are 'before' shots.  

I love Africa!!!

I really like it here.  I feel kind  of like an old pro....until the teachers who have already been here a couple of years.  I do have pictures now and will post directly.  I went to the orphanage that's a block away from the school today.  OH WOW!!!!!!!  I was in love!!  We(me and my two housemates) went out back and were immediately swarmed by children.  I was holding two, had one on each leg and one on my waist.  Then, we went inside and fed the babies and rocked them to sleep!!  I have now found my retirement job. :-)  Ok, here come pictures.  Thanks for all your prayers and please keep them coming for the completion of the school!

New country....new home

I made it safely to Accra! It is wonderful here especially because we are in the cool season. This is something like fall in Alabama. I really like it here already and can't wait for school to start. One prayer request is that the school and the other house for teachers are completed by the time school starts (Aug. 19). As soon as I get internet at my house, I will post pictures.

Lots of love
