Hey friends,
I only have 19 more days until I am leaving.

We've had company the last couple of days. They were a couple of ladies that came to do some seminars for the students. They are from a Canadian, Jewish organization called Ve'ahavta. They are here in Sri Lanka doing some work with the Tsunami aftermath.

One of the ladies, Rachel, is from Israel and the other, Alison, is from Toronto. Alison met Matt and Rebecca a few years ago here in Sri Lanka and was very interested in Beacon Hill. Rachel had been here in March and met up with Matt and Rebecca to see the school. They decided that the next time they were here that they would like to help the school in anyway that they could. The seminars that they did for the kids were very helpful and I think the kids really enjoyed them. They did two seminars, one on Peer Pressure and the other on Budgeting Money. They also did a seminar for the teachers on Conflict Resolution. It was really good and I think will benefit all the teachers here.

Did I mention that it's only 19 more days.

I think that I am finally able to get excited about coming home now that it is coming so close.

I'm preaching on Sunday. My last time in Sri Lanka.

Rebecca and I are planning a trip to Badulla. We're going to take the train. The ride there is apparently very beautiful so I'm looking forward to it! And to taking the train.

It's Mo's birthday tomorrow. He's going to be 4. He's having a Thomas the Train birthday. How exciting. It's really sad that I can actually name quite a few of the trains...and I know the names of Bob the Builder's machines. Micah hit me in the foot with Dizzy the other day. He's taken to tossing things and pointing at everything and saying, "What's that?" Of course it doesn't sound exactly as it should but I don't know how to spell it like he says it.

Wow I'm feeling rather brain dead right now so I think I'm going to stop.
Over and out.
