Tomorrow, our first two team members depart to head back home to the states, but then we have three new people coming to help out at the new center. This is a huge bl'ssing because we are all so busy with classes and the old center right now. We still have the Kids Club two mornings a week, evening classes 4 nights a week, and coffeeshop one night a week. And now, Christine and I have the privilege of tutoring a 13 year old in math 8 hours a week. He is such a joy to work with and is so excited to learn more! Needless to say though, we are all running our separate ways most of the day, which is making heading down to the center to do lots of work a difficult task. With new team members coming (specifically to work on the new center), I am confident that we will get the center (mostly) put together before we all head out on Aug. 7th or 8th! I can't believe there are less than 3 weeks left! Cr'zy!
Almost finished!!!
All done!
Hi Christa,
ReplyDeleteI just want you to know how much we have enjoyed following your experiences this summer. What a mix of emotions and blessings to see the wonderful things your group is accomplishing. Although we will all be glad to have you back (close by and safe), we hope you enjoy the remaining time you have in Iraq and know that we keep you in our daily prayers. Take care...blessings,
The Merlo Family
