This week we are holding the first session of the Bible Training School for this year. Attendance is a bit low, because the harvesting of the coffee beans is behind schedule this year, and for many of the pastors, this is the only time of year when they have a paying job. I believe the delay is related to the weather, but I don't know enough about coffee bean harvesting to know exactly how it is affected by weather. So, we have about 40 students in the class, when we normally have between 70 and 80.
It is not necessary for people from our family to be at the school at all times, so in addition to the classes, we also have some construction going on at the property this week. Today, Allen backfilled the foundation of the second building, which will be housing for interns. Bethany came home excited, because she got to drive the front end loader for the first time today. She is 11. She and David also came home filthy! They had a fun day.
Here at home, I did school with Rachel and Chris, and we also spent a lot of time packing up the leftover items from the Christmas gift distribution. These items were given to the pastors who attended classes this week. We also baked four cakes for the pastors' dessert tonight.
Oh, this week we also had the food distribution for the Special Needs families. That was on Tuesday.
So, nothing special to tell you about today, just life moving along.
