Goodnight Everyone!

   Well just 2 more weeks till it Easter Vacation! I would have to say that I am ready for that. Not to mention that I have two friends coming the 20th...so ya lets just get there.

     School has been going good though. We only are having a 12 week trimester so its going pretty fast, but we have been pretty busy this Trimester.... don't get me wrong! We have had a trip to Carriacou a neighboring Island, a lot of half birthdays (for those who we can not celebrate on the appropriate date because it is on school holiday)and  one? real birthday, then there is cross country were we have mile or so run for the little kids and 3 mile run for the older kids. I have thought I don't know what would happen if this would start to happen in American school....because I'm sure it would be consider terrible. But most of our kids do good! Feb. 7rd is Independence Day for Grenada so we all dress up in the colors (red,green, and yellow) for the day. And this year we went down to Limes for a oil down and a talk from two men on Grenada history and the good 'ol days. Then there was Sports day which was pretty good. We got done around 4, 4:30 which was nice since we were having a week long crusade with Pastor Jim (who use to live in Grenada. but you can tell he still has a heart for the people here)  We had it up in the LaBorie pasture. Which was a cool location. There is a lot of drug activity that goes on in that area as well as gambling. So it was amazing that we could let the gospel go out to these people. It was a good week. Keep praying that the truth would still be working on people up there though. Just now like next Friday we are having our field trip which will prolly be hiking, and then the Friday after that (which is the last day of school before Easter brake) is kite day! And i am sure most of the kids will love that. Its kinda an annual thing around here, since kite making and flying is such a big thing.

    Anyway I thought it was high time for another update. I would have to admit though that living here is part of my life so its hard to think of things to write about. I guess I will show pictures and if i feel the need there will be captions...

                                                     our VBS was smaller this year probably due to a new location.
                                                           Here are a few pictures I got though.
