Apart from having very hot weather (which drains everyone), I've been struggling health-wise since coming back to Zambia, just going from one thing to the next. It's left me with little energy and therefore, a lot of last minute preparations. The most obvious sign of my procrastination was the fact that I had to tell the bell ringer on two occasions to please not ring the bell for assembly until I was actually there to lead the songs!
For Sarah it's been a bit overwhelming trying to figure out the crazy schedule, the long list of school rules and expectations, all the kids' names, how she fits into everything. I realized that I was attempting to teach her in one week what has taken me nearly two years to learn....not exactly realistic, and definitely not happening.
In spite of the roughness of the week, I'm still seeing great things, getting way more grace and miracles handed my way than I deserve, and Sarah is loving being here. God is still getting me out of bed every morning (even with a night of practically no sleep!) with a desire to do my job, and have a love for my kids as I finish out the last two and a half months with them! God's strength is surely great!

Not the best shot, I admit, but I was trying to be discreet!
