It's only Tuesday and here I go planning the weekend. Anybody wonder why? I begin the journey HOME on Friday and don't arrive until Monday, the 11th. Let me explain!
Nathan and Peter give admission tests in Monrovia on Saturday, and they are my ride to the capital city. (I actually fly out on Sunday.) With the 3 of us will be two ladies, one a trainer for the 6 students who have been selected as some of the models for the fashion show in May. The other one is a student going to visit her husband who works there. Those of you interested in EAFC may hear more about Albert and his work with a denomination started by the mission S.I.M. in this country. The church was severely damaged by the 14 year civil war. People fled to Ivory Coast, Guinea, and Ghana, leaving traditions behind as well as all their assets. Some of that was good, and yet they returned home with an assortment of "new" ideas, some not better than what they had abandoned.
When I talked with Nathan and Peter this morning, they assured me that they plan to take care of me in Monrovia this weekend. We actually will get to stay at the same guesthouse, which is quite settling to me. I may look like a confident woman to many of you, but there are buried inside me some insecurities.
All the tests and projects will be turned in today. I'll be grading and recording grades the next 2 days. The PEOPLE, I will miss, but then there's a lot of you that I've been missing. Hope to see you soon!
praying you home safely, but asking for lots of great adventures along the way...I'm hoping it won't be too long before I can see you as well.
