Back to School

Christmas Vacation was very relaxing and enjoyable. I was able to spend time with my family and I could not have enjoyed it more. However, I have to admit that I was excited to start back to school. I think that the kids were excited as well!

Great News: New Computers for NSMS

Great News:

The new computers are here!!! We are so excited to announce that we now have new computers. Now we have a computer lab with 10 working computers.

The kids were so excited to use the computers. They each have their own username and passwords. (They were all excited to create their own passwords.)

As you can see, we are still waiting on the chairs to be made and be delivered, but doesn't the lab look great!

Now we just have to figure out what to do with the few working dinosaurs that the school has.

Thanks so much to everyone who helped make this dream a reality for the school. 

End of Summer

This summer flew by! (but doesn't every summer?) I was able to accomplish many projects and I am ready to start the new school year. :)

I worked with the HCJB Summer Interns. They were here for 6 weeks. The three guys worked in the Community Development Department. They worked with water projects in the jungle. The girls worked at the hospital in either health care or business administration. I was in charge of trips and helping with the accounting for the entire project.

I also helped with a large project in the school library this summer. We have close to 5000 books, but it was hard for the students to find books to read on their level. So the librarian and I worked on a system of looking up the books online to figure out what level they were. It took us 3 whole weeks but a we were able to label the books in the library with their corresponding grade level. It was A LOT of work but we did it and I really think it is going to help the students find books to read.

This summer wasn't all work though:

My parents came to visit and we had a wonderful time. I really enjoyed showing them my home and ministry. My mom helped me decorate my house and now it really feels more like a home :)

We had a missionary community "Hoe Down." It was loads of fun!

Thanks Irwins for the photo :)

School starts on Thursday!
