We safely arrived in Acapulco, with good flights, great connections. We are staying just off the main road, in a rooftop apartment, but our only view is of tall hotels in front of the bay.   We have a good deal of stairs to climb to get up here, ask Dale about getting our luggge up here.   Pray for us, especially Carla, traversing the stairs.  This is where we will hold our training, beginning at 7:30 am tomorrow and Saturday, for twenty teachers.

We slept well and now have a day before us of preparations for the next 10 days of work.   Keep us in your prayers.  It is very warm here, and it will most likely sap our energy.

(Christine, Nancy, and Shallot) PASSIONATE OVERACHIEVERS! After meeting with some of our PS78-TEP students yesterday, my conclusion was that those who study with us are “passionate overachievers." They are passionate about their work with children, and they...

“Welcome back to Uganda!" It was so good to hear those words after our arrival in Kampala at 7:30 AM this morning. Our 25+ hour flight over was a bit rough, and my suitcase did not arrive! Nor did the suitcase with the children’s books for the teacher workshops this...
