We started the 2012 year on Monday, March 5. We have 15 students this year, 13 “re-runs” and 2 “newbies”. The first week went great. No big problems or major changes in the schedule. This is a great thing for me! This year we have students in Kindergarten up to 10th grade. The trampoline is still the most popular recess activity – they have daily “talent” contests where you hear ooohhhs and aaahhs all over the property
Dilma and the Girls
Dilma went back to Oromomo for 2 weeks to visit her family. She is currently living in the city with another missionary couple. Tito, the husband, is doing much better, he is now able to get around in a wheel-chair. I think in a few more weeks they will release him from the hospital.
Word of Life Property – A Shrinking Mountain
We are preparing for flooding again! The lake continues to rise, so they have decided to raise the level of the ground around my apartment, so that as the water table rises, it will not flood. The idea is to get the ground higher than the water table. So, they have been building a wall to contain the dirt and then bringing in truck loads of dirt from the mountain. They are doing this mainly for a family that lives under my terrace. If the water rises like it did last year, they will have 2 inches of water inside their house.
Also, imagine having your garage filled with red clay – that is the way my house is – the entrance to my stairs and about 50 yards in both directions is just a huge red clay pile! I have to mop everyday! But, I would rather mop than walk through water!! If you don’t remember the flooding from last year, look back in the March and April blogs for a picture.
