When will school start?

I am here in Ghana now! The weather has been wonderful! I hear it's even better than Illinois right now! I have a million mosquito bites, but they don't itch so that's a blessing. Thank you everyone for the travel prayers. Travel went very smoothly.

We are supposed to start school next Wednesday, but they are doing construction on the building right now, so we will have to pray that they keep working quickly. They are adding several more rooms to the school which is really nice. It will keep the school in it's current location for the next two years.

I will be living in a house (we are going to call the Pink Flamingo) right next to the school, but it is under construction right now too. I am staying with the Director and his wife right now. My two roommates and I will be moving in to our new place hopefully in late September. I'm learning a lot and trying to find my way around. I was going to go to the orphanage by the school today, but I have a cold and decided I shouldn't be around the kids yet. But I hope to help out there some in the future.

Prayer Requests...
Please pray the construction on the school gets done quickly and safely.
Please pray that I get over my cold quickly.
Please pray that I would be prepared for the start of school and ready to get to know my students.
