On Tuesday of this week, Sam and I moved into C's house. (C is a single lady who has been here about a year.) We were definitely still a little weak from being sick the day before, but we decided it was just best to get the move done. I still have not yet put everything away. Of course, my excuse is no longer that I’m not feeling well. It’s just procrastination at this point.
School went fairly well last week, all things considered. We obviously canceled school on Monday since most of the Loescher household was sick. Then on Wednesday night a missionary family that lives a few hours away came down for a visit. One of their daughters is quite musically gifted, so she spent Thursday giving many of the kids music lessons, either piano or flute. Unexpectedly losing two days of school really messes up lesson plans. Thankfully, I only plan out one week at a time. Because the girls watch videos for most of their classes, there’s really no way for me to catch them back up. But I’m not too concerned about finishing the books or anything. People are more important than a day of school.
Yesterday one of the moms took me up to the soccer field for another driving lesson. Driving is coming along very well. Yesterday I worked on shifting between gears (mainly 2nd and 3rd). I probably drove around the soccer field 30 times practicing. We definitely attracted many stares. But we weren’t the only ones who thought of practicing driving at the soccer stadium. As we were about ready to leave, a taxi came up and started driving around the field. I think the plan is one more week at the stadium, and then I’ll hit the roads!
Presidential elections are coming up this weekend. Please pray for peace in the country. We’re not really sure how people will respond between election day and the day the results come in. We’re trying to prepare the best we can in case we have to stay put in our homes.
Thanks for your prayers!
