October 2: bullet-point update

What's been happening this week?

  • Dave has been in Ghana for Mobile Member Care Team board meetings. He left on Sunday and will return (Lord willing) on Friday evening.
  • Junior varsity softball has started. I recruited a few girls who are needed for the team, and have been enjoying watching the practices and supporting all the kids (especially the girls!) Dave will be one of the coaches when he returns.
  • The last day of Ramadan was celebrated on Wednesday, it was a no-school day for D.A.
  • Joey's collar bone: upon review by an orthopedic doctor, surgery is recommended to align the bones correctly. (They are now overlapping each other.) He'll fly to Minnesota for the out-patient surgery next week with a surgeon we know and trust. What a blessing!
  • It's been busy for me in my job at Dakar Academy, and our househelper has been on vacation so it's been extra work at home too.
  • One of Jacob's teachers at D.A. resigned, and now the administrative leadership are working to get teaching arrangements worked out... lots of complication!
  • We have had electricity almost every night for the past week, although it's been off between four and six hours per day. Being able to sleep with fans/air conditioning is a huge blessing!
