School Cancelled! Because of the Train?!?

This morning I went to get the girls up and I noticed the train was stopped on the tracks...Hmm...interesting. 7:00 rolled around. The kids needed to get to school. All of our vehicles were trapped in. So, at first we had a one-hour delay. The kids' last day of school is tomorrow and today is a party day. Some of the kids were sad and prayed that the train would move. After an hour, we had them change and cancelled school. I never thought school would be delayed/cancelled because of a train. :)





In other news...


We celebrated Bill and Joan's 29th anniversary with the Washington work team.


We had a rainy day! Daniel pulled out his winter coat, heaved a mattress on top of the monkey bars and chilled in the sprinkles. It was pretty weird, but really funny.


We have a three week stretch of workteams! The church is going up quickly. It was exciting to watch the windows literally take shape this week. We are using "foam block construction." It looks like people are playing with styrofoam legos, but then they have to work really hard to fill them with cement.



Please pray for those in language school:

David Sceggel who left for language school this morning.

Tomorrow my cousin, Regg Beer, leaves for a summer in Morelia for language training.

Jenean is there for a few more weeks.
