It’s hard to believe that our first tenth grade class has graduated! (This is pretty much the equivalent of a twelfth grade graduation in the US.) When we first moved here, they were in the 8th grade. Now they have graduated and it will be exciting to see how the Lord leads each of the 8 graduates. Please pray for them. Some of them want to be nurses, pastors, teachers, and/or missionaries. Here are some pictures of the graduation.
It’s 8:30 Friday morning, and students, teachers, and family are coming for the event.

Meanwhile, the graduates are putting on their gowns and hats.
