Chomping at the bit

Maureen sent an email to the Field Director asking about J&S (and when we might hear from them), and received this response...


Hi Maureen,

It's nice to hear from you!

Jim and Sharon and doing so great! We've had a busy week and on Monday we head off to a new location for a week of practice teaching and further orientation training sessions. Tonight your parents are doing a "home stay" and are spending the night at the home of a lecturer from Windhoek's College of the Arts. I anticipate that they will have an interesting experience. I'm back with them tomorrow.

They have purchased a 3G internet device to plug into their laptop but needed to take it into the shop this morning to make some adjustments. I imagine that once they get some down time they will take a moment to log on and catch up on email. During our free time this morning your father took care of the computer issue while your mother packed for our journey on Monday.

We have a really fantastic group of volunteers and Jim and Sharon are delightful parts of it. We're lucky to have your mother's sensitivity and thoughtfulness and your father's easy laugh and jokes. All of the volunteers and I have all only been together since Tuesday but it's beginning to feel like a family of sorts.

I wish you all the best. Please feel free to check in at any time.

Take care,
Jocie
