“So, as those who have been chosen of God, holy and beloved, put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you. Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.” Colossians 3:12-15 (NASB)

Good morning from GRACE Mountain.  Why no entry yesterday?  Fair question.  I did not have internet service until up in the morning.  Al has been notified.

Dorothy St. Amant’s husband took a fall from a ladder and suffered broken bones and torn ligaments.  He has had one surgery and will be having more in the coming weeks.  Pray for him.

Rita Boutwell, Clinton Stringfellow & Diane Trotti have a sibling who has been in the hospital.  Pray for that situation too.

Because of FB then most of you already know about the first day of Colegio JET.  It was a great day!  To God be the glory!  How did day two go?  It went well.  There are some challenges with the construction workers still on site but Deidra & I met with the contractor yesterday to work out some of those issues and to get a finishing date.  It is all good.

I spent the better part of day one in meetings with the local (El Tejar) department of education and then the state (Chimaltenango) department of education.  You have to do this in order to get a code that allows the school access to the student’s files.  Deidra graciously allowed me to be the one playing the waiting game!  So nice of her!  She also let me buy a coffee maker and a microwave for the school.

On day two Deidra said, “dad, you are going to be in charge of setting up the tables in the cafeteria” which was her kind way of saying “just stay out of the way!”

Today, Deidra has a “list” that she needs done before I leave for home.  Killing me!

There is a potential for some rough weather in South Mobile County today, tonight and tomorrow.  Please take caution if you are out and about.

I pray that you will have a great Friday with Jesus.
