From Jean

Monday March 29 6:00pm

I love this place. The people are so precious. It was so good to see all the teachers again! The These teachers, house parents, and all those that minister to this village have such a demanding job. They all work so hard and show us how to put your faith in God. Today, I struggled as to what to do and where to be. Sunday afternoon, Laurie and I sat and listened to the director, Faustina, tell us lots of things going on in the school. Today after school, one of the teachers was giving us her daily schedule and was telling us some of the problems that she faces. We doubt they get many chances to ever unwind or unload! It is overwhelming to see all they do and what little we can do to help them. They are so appreciative of everything!

Laura, the dress you made was a hit! Baaba was thrilled to see me wearing it! One teacher told me that today I was Ghanain because of my dress!

I watched the most precious sight today. Two little girls had their baby dolls and put them on their back, and pulled a blanket up and wrapped it around them and were trying to carry their babies like mommies do here. It was too cute.

Jon saw a baby today that was 5 months old and weighed 8 pounds. You just can’t believe some of the things you see. We are so blessed. Central air is awesome! We have none!

Continue to pray for us that we will be guided to use the time we have to do what God wants us to do.

Love, Jean

I hope you have recovered from your fall, Jean. We are all missing you, even before you left. I am glad that Laurie was able to be there with you, to help you teach the teachers. Please take care of yourself, and gather some wonderful stories for Logan and Kayley. We all pray daily for the health and safety of everyone there.

Jean, again we pray for you daily. A question for you that is a bit of a puzzle. Popsicle, textured black surface all over or T.B.S. on sides with stainless steel front?
