Computer still on blitz at school, so we can get 15 minutes at a WI-FI spot in town!
Still plugging along at school and liking second grade. Dickie is pretty much full time doing whatever they need and being a disciplinarian when needed. The pastor asked him if he would drain the sewage pump each day, so I'm glad Dickie finished his doctorate before he came down here! It's all about service. We are trying to find out what the needs are, and where we can best fit in. Dickie is still leading Thursday night Bible Study at Calvary and speaking on Sundays in churches when needed. This Sunday we will attend a worship service at Cinnamon Bay on St. John to see what is available for tourists - do some frontrunning before Will and Teresa get here on Oct. 3 (Yay!). We have made aquaintances, but not really friends yet. People here are not exactly what you would call warm and fuzzy. Takes a while to break the ice, get past racial and cultural barriers, etc.
Continue to pray for us as God opens doors for new relationships and opportunities to serve. I still get homesick (especially on weekends) and am working through that as it comes. Is overwhelming at times. Have been reading in Acts about how much of the ministry was encouragement. It seems like that is a large part of what we are doing, and that's OK! Just being open to His leadership and His will for us while we are here. Love and miss all of you!!!!
