Date of Return Changed

I've also recently learned that March 23 is going to be an important day at ABCU.  All classes will be cancelled, not just that day but all week.  That day is the dedication of this university.  I understand that even the president of Liberia will attend.  Then Dr. Franklin Graham of Samaritan's Purse will also be there and will also be conducting a crusade in Monrovia which we will participate in.

Though exciting, this canceling classes a week when there was only SIX weeks to cover a semester's work seemed impossible to accomplish.  Dr Chinchen and I decided that extending my stay to April 10 made more sense for my students and for me in trying to cover the material.

Can you think of a better public relations event to put "flesh" on a Public Relations textbook than this week of "non classes?"  I'm quite excited about having a chance to give them a practical example of how one works in the field.

As I've previously posted, I've begun to pray for my students.  I can't tell whether Jutonue is male or female, much less how to pronounce the name.  So, I asked God how to pray for these students.  I went on with my reading in Ephesians that I've been doing lately, when this jumped out at me.  "For this reason I bow my knees before the Father from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named......" Suddenly, I felt very connected to these people.
