Just around the corner. . .

Things are about to change. . .

• Instead of the chapel being full, it will be packed.
• Instead of one pot of curry, there will be two or three.
• Instead of one class period in a day, there will be six.
• Instead of simply classes to prepare for, there will be classes to be taught.
• Instead of 100 young people to share Jesus with, there will be 250.
• Instead of. . .

And the list goes on. Yes, the beginning of school is just around the corner. And with it will come many new challenges and joys. As the principal, Dad is finding himself swamped with things that need to be taken care of before the next couple of days are over. Mom is busy preparing to teach as much as she can to the students that will be in the Medical Missionary class this term. Sharon, who will be assisting her, is finding plenty of opportunities to use the skills she already has and learn many more. Most of my days are filled with preparations to teach a language that makes very little sense in some respects yet is the number one language that people want to learn. . . All I can say is that by the time this school year is over either I will know it better than ever before or I will find myself more confused than I want to imagine.

Yes, of course, we are busy, but we’re excited none-the-less. God’s bidding was also an enabling. We’re excited as we see your prayers as well as ours being answered. Many of our students have come to know much about the Bible, but haven’t given their lives to Christ. God has a plan for each one, and it is our prayer that we will do our part faithfully in fulfilling that plan.

In Christ,

Hannah

P.S. Just in case any of you got the idea that we are not getting enough to eat, I want to make it clear that we have not lacked in anything. We just know what it means to be really hungry for breakfast when we’ve been up for four hours already and done a whole bunch of exercises.
