Students and the School…
This is what I see if I look up in our classroom
The School
What a great bunch of Students!!!! I am looking around the room where I am writing this, and all the students are around also. And you just see how nations, languages, generations have come together, and if you would have to spend one day with them you will observe such a unified family.
Some one asked me the other day what I like and dont like about doing what I do…
I dont like having to say good bye to close friends that you have made from different nations, either because you have worked with them, been part of a school with them or just met them on the base. And having to have this 3-9 Month friendship circle rotation is sometimes stressfull on you as a person and on you and your frienships…
I absolutly love meeting new people from different nations every 3-9 months, and building great friendships with them and being able to know that every country God sends me to, or people who God sends to where I am working.

This month was once again a Birthday extravaganza…with two Birthdays being celebrated! One was a dress up with the uglyist thing you could find, and the other was a Karioki night… Now normally I am not 100% keen for staring at a computer screen, sining along to bad covers… So diving into it knowing that I would have to do it was going to be interesting… on arrival I was all excited, voice was warmed up, and I had my game face on. Elvis, Beatles, Walt Disney… I was ready for what ever was drawn…although I thought I was…
Dress up!?!! birthdays are always fun
I dont know why I didnt think of this before…But the longer I stayed, I realised that all of the songs they were singing were French… and I didnt know any of the songs… Thankfully there were some English songs that I could sing a long too. I refuse to name them, but I did end up singing about 2 songs in French…It might not have sounded French, but I gave my best. I dont think many people heard me singing…because most of them were laughing so loud!
I could not have asked for a better group of people to have around me. My fellow staff are incredible. And the students are amazing, I have become great friends with every one of them. Some of them we have conversations in broken English, and others…really really broken French and Charades and hand signals. But we still have a great time, and often are in laughter. Sitting with they guys watching the football/Soccer final the other week was great! And I learnt some new French words I haven’t heard yet…
Please keep the school in Prayer. They are getting ready to go on there outreach. They still need about 3000 Euro for this phase of the school and we are all trusting to see the Money come in. They also super tired, its been a very busy time for them but I know they have the capicity to finish well…
