Public Service Announcement

Ok Three Things.

First, I was about to write a post about what a good mood I was in today, and then my favorite necklace from Peru just exploded into all 85 of the tiny parts that originally came together to make up my favorite necklace. Bummer, huh?

Oh well. All good things must come to an end. A fool and her necklace are soon parted. No use crying over spilled beads.
Better to have loved and lost a necklace than never to have loved at all.

Well, anyway.

Second: Things are still going very well here, we're in our 2nd week of teaching our February classes. Attendance for the institute is up to 207 students which is great, especially as our goal is to attract 300 students by the end of the year. SALI is experiencing a lot of growth and positive changes and we are continually working on improving the institute. Please pray for us as we continue with this year that our earthly goals will be met this year, but more importantly that we will grow as God will have us to grow.

Third Thing: I hope everything is well with all of you! Our vonage phone is still broken and I unfortunately am still relatively cut off from the Motherland. So this is your Public Service Announcement reminding you that only you can prevent forest fires, and that your friendly neighborhood missionary enjoys hearing from you through blog comments, e-mails, letters, postcards, and the occasional smoke signal, although that kind of conflicts with the forest fire warning. Well....you get the picture. Hope to hear from you soon!
