Monday was our first day of school and as always we didn't have the full number of children but each day brought more. We won't know how many we'll have until the end of the next couple of weeks. But, right now we have 38. Six of them are in pre-school. Jessica is gearing up with her little ones. Surprisingly, this only one who is crying. His name is Pablo and he's barely three.
The hurricane situation is still a big big problem. We will be involved very shortly in relief efforts. We sat here Tuesday night enjoying a nice rain that cooled everything off and then we got a call that Cabaret was flooding. It took a very hard hit from Ike, killing a lot of people and another flood! We felt a bit guilty at enjoying the cool rain when others were suffering once again.
Prices are still rising. Yesterday was the first day in two weeks that we could find eggs. There are no tomatoes in town. The lettuce I had was full of ants. It's not a good situation. Electricity is sparse and the bridge at Montrouis is still an issue. We have no curriculum which to date is still in customs making it difficult at school (but we are managing).
We are reading the US news and see the damage Ike did there. It seems these are the days we must all look up for our redemption draws nigh.
Keep your eyes and heart on the Lord and not the circumstances created by the weather and financial institutions and may the Lord bless each of you.
