Today we work, with tired eyes. We did not get to bed till midnight and the alarm goes off early (5am) so today had all the makings of a long day. However, God is faithful and he will meet our needs. He is always there when we need him (because we stayed up too late dancing) and he was with us today. We got a lot of work done today, in spite of our weakness. In our weakness he is made strong. Today we painted the girls dorm, trim, and the ditch digging crew got lots done too. There has been a few tangles with the backhoe and the main water line, but that story is better told by Scott, and in person. Way better that way. Also today Lane went to school at Shanti. They only have up to grade four, so he went in with that class. At the beginning of the day the kids all stand at attention, do drills, and say anthem. They also have a hand check to see if their hands are clean and tidy. I leaned over to Lane to let him know what was happening and he slowly tucked his hands behind his back, knowing full well his hand would not pass inspection. It was really interesting to see how they conduct school. Very much like the old days at school, and I am so glad Lane got to see it. After that he joined in to the class, there were only 3 kids in that class, talk about one on one time. He did math, spelling and Hindi. I am really proud of him for being brave enough to go. That is an opportunity that he may never get again. That was the morning and he spent the rest of the day digging ditches, all in all a very great day.
