Spring Break.....

So, we haven't been as good as we should be in keeping this blog up to date. One reason has been the lengthy power outages here. There has also been some interruptions with the internet but now that the rainy season is pretty much over we are hoping that it will be more consistent here.

It is Spring Break now so the kids are out of school for 2 weeks. Good Friday and the Monday after Easter are both gov't holidays so I am lucky enough to get a 4 day weekend. We might be lucky enough to get to the lake for one of the days. On Easter Sunday we are going to a concert/dinner for some of our friends who are in a band. That should be fun.

Before school ended for the term Ryan was lucky enough to be selected to play in a basketball tournament. I am sure you can imagine how excited he was about that. His team actually played very well and they took third place!

We also have have started renting out tents for weddings, engagements, etc... These are the tents that our friend Jay was picking up when he was mugged in South Africa. Thankfully he is okay but that was a very scary situation for both him and us. Here are a couple of pics of the tents.

They look so great now that we have figured out how to set them up. A word to the wise.... don't try to set up big tents in a lightening / rain storm like we did the first time!

We have already rented out two of the tents this last weekend. Apparently these kinds of tents are in high demand all year round to protect from both rain and sun! We use the young guys living and working here on campus to get them set up and torn down. It is a big help to Sam, Jay and David as well as giving them an opportunity to make some extra money!

Pray for Jay as he makes one more trip to South Africa to get the one remaining tent that is still there. He should be making the trip soon after the Easter holiday.

We pray that you have a blessed Easter holiday back at home. We miss you all greatly and pray for you often.
