A new school year begins

Wow, I can hardly believe it.  The kids just started their second full year of school here in Cambodia.  All 4 are still at Logos International School and all 4 still really enjoy it.  In fact Cameron, the most reluctant last year, just told me the other day "Dad, remember last year when I hated to go to school? Well its funny because this year I love school.  I can't wait to start 1st grade". Needless to say, that was music to my ears.
Calli is starting 7th grade, Abby High School and Alex 11th grade. I am so proud of all 4 of them and how they have adapted to our new home. Although it is sad to say good-bye to summer, it is great to be back on a regular schedule again. Now, we are only about 10 months from our first visit back to the States.

A few days before school started we said good bye to our last team of the summer break.  It was a great group of US military and civilian staff working on a military base in Okinawa, Japan. Our family treasures the brief (but hopefully lasting) relationships we can make with so many great people who are seeking to serve the Lord just as we are. Together, as each of us fulfills the plan God has for us, we can achieve great things. That is one thing that has become so evident to us here.  If you have any desire to come, visit and serve, let us know.  We would love to have you.
