Please continue to pray for safety for all MARC flights. There are weekly Wednesday and Saturday flights to Unalakleet, where Covenant Camp is getting a new chapel, and weekly flights to Eagle where Samaritan's Purse is building new homes to replace the ones lost in spring thaw flooding.
This week and next week, we are doing some review work for school before we begin the new school year the first week of September. I am impressed that the kids have not lost any ground over the summer break, but have exceeded my expectations of where they should be. Besides getting up earlier in the morning (which is just as hard for Mommy as it is for the kids), I think starting another school year will go quite smoothly. Even though I am confident about it all, I would still appreciate your prayers in this area. No matter how much confidence I might have, I still can not MAKE the kids learn, it has to be their own desire. I can present the materials and information and make them do the work, but that does not guarentee they are learning. So please pray they will have a heart's desire to learn.
Our chicks are growing fast. They will be ready to put in the coop in another four weeks. I never knew how soft chicken feathers were. We handle these little girls (I hope they are all girls anyway) at least twice a day.
Our coop is now occupied by 10 beautiful, sweet chickens. We aquired these ladies just last night from a few friends. We have four Australorps that will lay light brown eggs,
four Black Sex-Links that will lay brown eggs,
and two Leghorns that will lay white eggs. We'll have a nice assortment of egg colors. Especially when our Easter Eggers begin laying in January, with their blue, green, and pink eggs.
By lunch time, Jeremiah had collected two eggs. Not bad for the first morning in a new home.
