Open House Tonight!!

Think I am finally ready for Open House tonight! Have learned that people in this community really think a lot of this school, and church members pitch in to help get it ready. This is a very dusty place.
We may have found a vehicle! 93 Jeep Wrangler for $4,000! Won't we look cool. Will wait and see if it's still available after our money has transferred to our new checking account here, which took us 2 hours to open yesterday. Island time!
Leaving island tomorrow to go to St. Thomas where Dickie will speak at a church Sun. morning. We hope to learn about their needs as we meet with them Sunday. A sweet couple from Calvary Tupelo has paid for us to stay in a motel there! Bathtub, here I come! I might even use 2 towels!!! God is good!
People in these churches are so matter-of-fact about their faith. A good lesson for me. They speak of things of God like we speak of movies, books, shopping, etc. They don't seem to take things for granted like I do. I have a lot to learn...
A very large iguana hanging around outside my classroom this morning! EEEK!!!Bold

  2. I guess the school bell rings this week. I know it's going to be great. I hope it went well this morning. Joanie says the iquana is just looking for a friend and only eats insects. It looks like you have a show and tell handy.
    love you, jrhea1
