We're Moving

I knew when I came here that the school was going to be moving from one location to another, but I didn't really understand exactly what that would entail. Throughout this past year I've gained glimpses into what that means. But even still the future holds much unknown and only time will tell what it really means for the school to move.

We are building a new school facility about 45 minutes to an hour from where we are currently located. While building projects are never quite on schedule in the States, imagine what it is like in a developing country plagued with rainy season and often much dishonesty and corruption. So it's been an interesting process up until now, as I'm sure it will continue to be. The relocation committee is still optimistic that the building with be finished and we'll be able to move in before school starts the middle of August.

A few weekends ago we went to check out the house we will be living in next year. While we were there we stopped by to see the current status on the new campus. It was crazy to walk the halls in this unfinished building and begin to imagine what it will be like teaching there next year. I got a chance to step inside my future classroom, as we've already received a layout of the new building and classroom assignments.

In the next several months please be praying for us as a school. We could use lots of prayer that the building gets finished on time. Please pray for much needed finances in order to be able to complete the project. Also, pray for the staff as they pack up the school and personal belongings in their houses and move to a new place. Right now many people are in that transition phase of feeling grief over leaving and anticipation of what lies ahead. While it doesn't sound that far, this new place feels like a foreign land compared to where we've been living. We are trusting Him in all these things. Would you join us in asking the Father for more than we dare imagine for our future.

It's a very large building with large classrooms as well as extra classrooms for us to grow into.

The very large hallways impressed us all.

My future classroom. It's not done yet, hopefully :)

Jennie's excited about her future science lab, next door to my classroom.
