I had a safe trip in thanks to "Wing and a Prayer" and even flew the plane for about 15 minites over the ocean.. Mike, the pilot, told me to aim at that cloud almost at the horizon. He didn't tell me the cloud was moving too. I kept drifting until he told me to bank left.  That's when I gave the controls back to him.

 

Our students are still not allowed in the building. There is a moratorium on the use of any building in the country for school if it has concrete ceilings. We had been using the open gallery on the second floor for 7,8,9th grades up until  last week while the other classes were outside in the courtyard. We were just told that we can no longer do that   There is just not enough space in our courtyard for ten grades outdoors under a tent. We are still contemplating what to do. 

 

To all you folks in North Carolina who sent so many good things I want to express my sincere thanks and to you others who have been so generous  thank you'all.

 

I have finished installing the new more powerful transmitter for our satellite system.

As you can see we are working on the final stages of installing our new generator. Tomorrow we start an overhaul of our complete electrical system at the school and church.

 

When this is complete we will begin putting in a mini kitchen in the upper building in preparation for starting to feed our 7,8,9,10th graders when school starts in October for next year  which we have not done before.

 

It is hot and humid this month. More so than I remember other times when I have been here in March.  The nites are really cool. Mary made me bring an electric blanket this trip and I'm glad she did.

 

Thanks again for your encouragement.

 

Keep on praying for us.
