Excitement is building for our seniors, just as I’m sure it is in the states. They aren’t exactly driving around in cars with “Class of 2002” painted all over, but senioritis has arrived at ICA, too. They have five more weeks until graduation. For some, that seems like forever; others have started dreading the good-byes.
Last weekend was ‘long’ weekend; classes were over at noon on Friday so that students could travel home or to a friends’ house. Very few students stayed on campus, and the ones who did were treated to very special times with their dorm parents. Bob and I were asked to housesit a house in Bouake which allowed us to get away from the campus for a few days, too. Bob even got to watch the Discovery Channel on the satellite TV!
I was blessed by attending a ladies’ retreat for the past three days – yes, even in Africa. Sixty-five missionary ladies from all over Cote d’Ivore gathered to encourage and be encouraged. In each of our Bible sessions, we were reminded that “God is Able”, each session concentrating on specific areas of our lives. It was a very special time of sharing what God has done and is doing in our lives.
Thank you for your continued prayers for us, and for your e-mails and other notes that show us you are thinking of us,
