First Day of School!

Just completed 1st day of Kindergarten. WOW! Had no idea what I was in for. Will have to regroup and form a new plan of attack. I'm not at Calvary anymore!!!
Sunday on St. Thomas went well. The worship service started at 11:00 and Dickie began speaking at 12:45; lots of music, talking, etc. The woman who made announcements even gave the seniors a lecture about signing up for SAT, college applications, etc. Pastor Zamore and his wife, Michelle, took us out to lunch and we really had a good visit. He is very excited about starting a tourist/dock ministry and wants us to help get that started here. On the way to the ferry, they stopped to buy us some butter bread, than a milk shake, which is served with alcohol unless you specify differently! Don't worry - we ordered without.
Really enjoyed our respite on St. Thomas - clean hotel, a little beach time, now back to work!
Sad news: our new friend, Georgia, who lives with us at the Ranch found out today that her daughter has cancer. She will be leaving within a few days. She has been our angel since we arrived and I will miss her terribly! Please pray for her.
Good news: We have wheels! A 2000 Jeep Wrangler is now sitting in the parking lot to take us home. Soon we will go to St. Thomas and do a much-needed K-Mart run.
Saw a mouse in my apartment this morning. It's Wild Kingdom down here!

  1. Hang in there !!! We are praying for you. These little ones are eager sponges ready to soak up the love and knowledge that you can give them--you may be the only positive spot in their little life.

    Blessings
