First term 2008 at MICS is over....... and we survived!!! Actually we made great progress!!! School closed yesterday for a three week break.
What a fun last day we had!! Art lessons, a PE dance recital for parents, library class and computers!!! Yes, all on the same day! Who says school is not fun!?!??!?!?
We are so thankful as we look back to January when we arrived from the States. The school was not finished....there was no roof, windows or doors. Things looked hopeless as we had no money to complete the school building/house at that time.
If you remember MICS classes started late and we met in the rooms of our wooden house apartments. After a month or so we made the decision to move into the still unfinished school building. Little by little we are settling in and each day another classroom ceiling or window is finished (-:
Ruth worked hard to get the library up and running before she returned to Canada. Gil spent hours repairing computers and setting them up in the Hammes' flat at the wooden house....... Since they are in the US on furlough it was the perfect spot as it is the only unused room connected to the generator.
Again and again and again... we "Stand in Awe" of what the Lord is doing around us each day. He has showered us with so many blessings it is hard to comprehend.
We are so thankful! We are thankful to all of you that have helped in so many ways...and especially thankful for all of your prayers......please do not stop.

When it rains it pours!
Jon called to tell us MICS is going to receive a Playland Jungle Gym from a company in the United States. They are designing it to fit into a 20 foot container and will be shipped by the 1rst of May for the school. When you look at the picture of the school try to imagine a beautiful piece of equipment for the kids to play on!!! We are SO blessed and so thankful for this wonderful FUN thing God is providing for us. Yes it truly is SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS. Thanks Jon and company for organizing all of this!!!
MICS held it's first Open House in the new building this week. The parents were so happy to come and see the new classrooms. The library and computer lab ( in the wooden house) were open for viewing too. We did manage to get the grounds cleaned up a bit so that it did not look like a construction site, as you can see from the picture included.
It was a fun and memorable day for all of us.
Things are going a bit better as we have our car back and a new generator that even runs my hair dryer....you know that is something that is key to life for me(-: SOOOOO that to is a good thing.

This is the Story of My Friend Named Ruthie who came to Macha for three months from Canada.
My ANGEL Friend
This is the story of my friend named Ruthie
She came to Macha to do her duty
So special she is
Doing the work that is HIS
She's and angel in every way
Who takes care of me every day
God sent her to me
So please...let her be
Cooking, sorting, organizing, crying
In-putting, listening, laughing, and coke drinking
One day this lovely Ruthie
Ask me to tell the truthie
Now, you know I would
If surely I could
She needed a job
And I had one...sob sob
Library books of all kinds!!
For the good of kids minds
Five hundred!!!!!..... not more???
We started to explore
Soon her house was really full up!!!
Hardly room for them to sup
For weeks she did not quit
Yet....it never gave her a fit
The quietly one day
I must tell you if I may
Ruthie told it all
Out loud she did call
Almost......FOUR THOUSAND books in all!!!!
How will we ever get them on the wall??????
We love her soooo
From her head to her toe
We thank her too
For what she DO!!!!
The new MICS library
Was done by a fairy
Oh no! an Angel it was
I know that for sure...cuz
God sent her to me
To help me to see
That each step of the way
HE was with me each day
With love to my Angel Friend
And many thanks too!!!
