It is really interesting the feelings that winter brought this year. Every year we spend January training new teachers and then we send them out to teach usually after the first week of January. This year we was no different. In spite of Covid we still sent out 4 teams who are busy with teaching both over zoom as well as in person to small groups.
However, every mid-february we have a ‘lull’ in our calendar where we are preparing for the next SBS which will start in month. There is still a lot to do, and yet there are less people around. The weather is also cold and snowy (at least this year) and so it is easier to stay inside and ‘hunker down’ doing most of the preparation work for SBS alone. This can be a difficult month for our family and our team as we look forward to more sunshine and spring. We appreciate your prayers during the ‘bleak mid-winter.’
Something fun we did as a staff team was celebrate ‘National Carrot Cake Day’ just for a bit of silliness. We made it a competition to see who could make the best cake! Yum!!
