We had a good first half of term. Here are a few highlights of our 6 weeks:
The elementary students participated in a "Fun Run" last week. The younger kids did a half mile and the older ones ran a full mile. I (Joyellen) helped to time the kids and encourage them!
Here is my (Joyellen's) fourth grade class that I help with each morning. They are a sweet bunch!
Ian and his friend Kelly at the elementary Field Day a few weeks ago.
The field day had all sorts of games and here is Ian, taking aim at the principal!
Every Wednesday night we have the privilege of having the youngest dorm kids over to our house (to give their dormparents a night off). We do homework, devotions, snack time, and games with them before taking them back for bedtime. They jump into our family life that night!
A few weekends ago, we attended a big rugby tournament in Nairobi, called Black Rock Tournament. Every year, RVA plays and this year, we won! It was a fun day of cheering on our favorite team -
Go Buffaloes!
I see a future rugby star!

Thanks for praying for us! We have another 6 weeks to go and then we will finish our school year. We are thrilled to be here, working with "the best kids on earth!"
