Feb Newsletter

Hello All,

Things have been very busy here lately. The Spring Drama production is coming up soon and volleyball (boys and girls) games start today. We had our friend Mary over for dinner last night to celebrate her birthday. Along with her came a family who has been ministering in Central African Republic for a number of years. Because of an ever-changing political climate they have left for good and are spending a week or so here before they go back to the US. The kids especially liked our 3 baby kittens who arrived last Friday.
We got rain the other night. Our lawn perked up like crazy. I think it grew an inch on Monday.
We have an accreditation team from the US here in 2 weeks to determine if RFIS really does educate young people the way we say we do. It is a high tension couple of weeks preparing for that. The amount of paperwork that goes into this is unbelievable. Some of the senior teachers are putting in at least 20 or 30 extra hours a week since October getting things in line. Our midterm progress reports are due the Wednesday the team is here. We are not looking forward to that.
Hope you all like the newsletter. Our trip up north was great and we are planning another to Equatorial Guinea over spring break the end of March.
Thank you all for your thoughts, prayers and support throughout. Hopefully we will get a chance to see most of you this summer.
God Bless
Brian & Betsy
