An Unusual Week, An Unusually Good Day So Far

This morning, chapel was from 7:30 to 9, but it didn't feel that long.  We did the usual singing, but instead of one speaker, we had THREE.  Jack and Nelle Chinchen founders of the original college talked and then Palmer Robertson, President of the Uganda campus.  Each added to our understanding, and yet it was Palmer's message from 1 Kings 19 that touched my heart.  I'll comment after I've had time to reflect, because from chapel I went to give my 37 students their mid term test.  


Oh, I knew question 1 was hard; taking a scrambled outline and organizing it to make sense, but what I didn't know was that this time  I shouldn't have been more concerned about wasting paper and SHOULD HAVE just COPIED  the test AGAIN when I discovered the mistakes I'd made in it.  Oh, it was "my bad" as the young people would say. So I got to go around the room and almost 37 times explain the directions that I'd already given to the group.  Following directions don't seem to be easy, even when asked how to fold their test papers and where to write their names on it.


Below are pictures that Malue took for me after he finished his exam.  I had to stay in the class and miss the excitement of the helicopter landing right outside my classroom, but you'll now get to see what I've seen, and know what I know/ hardly anything.  But I'll let you know when I find out the details of the landing.    Peggy just filled me in on the reason for the helicopters.  There were 2 of them, Samaritan's Purse was bringing in security and photographers for tomorrow.

You'd know that when you ask a young man to photograph for you, you'll get this! ha!
