Dear Family and Friends,

Yes. I'll stay with you, I'll protect you wherever you go, and I'll bring you back to this very ground. I'll stick with you until I've done everything I promised you."  (Gen 28:15 MSG)

I can’t begin to tell you what a joy it is to see all of you and to hear about what God is doing in everyone’s lives. I have been encouraged by your prayers, support, love and friendship. People have been very generous to me, some offering prayer, some giving finances, some offering places to stay, others helping me get all the things on my shopping list, all making me feel at home and welcoming me back. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I have mixed feelings as I think about returning to Rwanda in a couple of weeks. In one way I feel sad and I will miss you and all the friends I have made in the US. Yet I’m also filled with anticipation. This year at KICS will bring changes for sure. First of all, our school will have a new principal for secondary students. Next, my department (learning support center) will grow from 3 staff to 5 staff. We will be joined by a fulltime occupational therapist and another special education teacher to help serve the primary students. I will continue working with secondary students (grade 6-12) in English language learning. Our school is also seeking to renew accreditation through ACSI (association of Christian schools international). This means a lot of work for teachers and staff.

I’m excited about meeting the new students God has for me. I will also have a few returning students: 1 12^th grader (KangHee), 1 10^th grader (Jin), and 1 7^th grader (Danny). Pray for them, the new students and for me as I get ready to leave the desert July 24th and fly out July 26^th. Pray that I will be ready physically, mentally and spiritually and that God would be glorified in me.

Thank you for your love, prayers, friendship and financial support.

Love,

Janet
