Gearing up

Just a quick update:

We're gearing up for school. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, we'll be orienting the new teachers. Some have been here all summer, one is arriving tomorrow morning. Two families, unfortunately, will not arrive in time for the orientation. Pray for all of them as they transistion.

My mom visited with us for a week and a half and had a fabulous time. She did a lot of things she'd never done before, like order in Indonesian, swim with sharks, and ride interesting forms of public transportation.

Merlin, our gray cat, ran away. Please pray with me that he'll come back.

Thank you for all of your prayers!

i think you guys were having too much fun sipping umbrella drinks after the traumatic encounter with the crabs. :)

the white-tipped reef sharks are in a contained area close to karimun jawa. they also swim in the ocean, but usually just scuba divers see them. i think that's because they swim in deeper waters. One of our guides said that he caught a shark fishing. Personally, I'm glad rita and i didn't come across one snorkling. but we'd be glad to take you next time you visit!
