Jesus stills the storm...

Just a short note. Well, not exactly like it happened in Luke but nonetheless the storm has turned north just enough to prevent excessive winds and flooding where we are. Last night it looked very much like the county would close all public offices and schools. The wind and cloulds are actually making the days more comfortable. There's lots of rain but we're OK with that if it means cooler weather. However, there is talk about closing things down tomorrow (Friday) in the expectation that once the typhoon gets over the mountians there will be significant flooding. This is probably the best situation for us if the schedule needs to be changed. We will compress our Friday classes and present them on Saturday and follow with our planned followup "party."

There have been many positive responses from the students about the classes, activities and friendliness of the staff counselors. There is a new principle at this school and we have been well received by him and the rest of the school. Although we are busy from 7 a.m. ‘til almost midnight, the work is very rewarding. Thank you for your continued support.

For the team, Chuck
