The "first day of school"

We began our day with a walk up to the end of MLC Lane . . . about 2 miles, round trip. It was warm and humid, but not hot and humid. As we were getting ready to go to breakfast this morning, we discovered that the wifi signal had diminished to the point that we were no longer receiving it in our apartment. We finished our scavenger hunt assignment and got it turned in and then went and found a wifi signal close to our apartment and got computer time before lunch. After lunch required a nap . . . just like little kids, we still get cranky before supper if we don't get our nap ;~{b) Our new neighbors arrived this afternoon shortly before supper.
We are back in the Global Center to get a good wifi for Paula's computer. She needed to answer a couple of emails and I needed to read my FPO material - a win win situation.
God has been so good to us, it is unbelievable!! We begin in earnest tomorrow having to rely upon His strength to stand firm. Not that we haven't done so already, but as we start our Orientation, along with being small group facilitators, along with trying to get all of the stuff done, and, and, and . . . wait a minute. No rights, no whining. (let the reader who has been here understand)
We got good news from our supervisor in Germany this morning. Our departure date IS September 24.

Tune again tomorrow when you'll hear our heroes cry out to God: "Not my will, O Lord, but Yours . . ."
