School is Starting

We are in the final count down to school starting. Our uniforms are almost ready at the tailor. Did I tell you that we have to wear uniforms? I will post a picture as soon as possible!

You know school is getting ready to re-open when all the street venders have their baskets full of uniform fabric, textbooks, school supplies, etc. You could actually sit in your car in downtown Freetown and just wait for these venders to walk by and you wouldn't even have to get out of your car. It brings a whole new meaning to "drive-by."

Sarah and are anxiously awaiting the start of school, but to be honest, we are also a little scared. We just aren't quite sure how the other teachers see us and our role in the classroom is still a little fuzzy. But I know that we serve a faithful God and He has this whole year planned out. He knows what it is He wants to accomplish and we just have to be attentive to His calling.

Up till now we really haven't been forced to integrate into this culture, but once we are working with these teachers we will really be forced to learn this culture and have an understanding of it so that we can best serve the teachers and children. Please continue to pray! I appreciate all the comments and emails I get! God Bless you all!
