It's Wednesday, Oct 13, Day 17. In my class today we covered John 5, 6 and were well into chapter 7. It was a truly exciting day ... remembering that for me, exciting may be something quite mundane for the rest of you. But class was definitely more lively. I felt quite engaged, thank the Lord. I included a picture of myself with my interpreter Jane. As always the interpreters are key to making things go smoothly.

And perhaps it was because Cindy finally made it to the school. It is energizing to have her here. She knows so many people and was blessed to renew many friendships and relive past memories. Victor (the librarian) invited Cindy to sit in the library and read for a while today, and then asked her to begin helping with a project in the library tomorrow afternoon.

Last night we had dinner with Mark & Joanne Mackey. Mark was formerly president of the college before turning it over to a Ukrainian, Vladymir Dygterov. Before dinner Mark took us over to the new building which will officially house the college in the near future. It's not ready yet but it is getting closer. We will include a few pix on facebook.

Please keep Pri from Sri Lanka in prayer. We haven't heard any update from him but are still burdened for him. (Yesterday's blog contains information on him if you did not see it yet.) And after that please pray for us as well for strength.

Perhaps the verse for the day from class is the shortest one ... John 6:48 ... "I am the bread of life!" Praise the Lord. As Cindy reminded me too, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled."
