The kids started
trickling back to campus Sunday afternoon, and it is good to have them back! Campus
doesn’t feel as empty now. It was cute seeing them come back, some of
their suit cases were bigger then they were.
First thing Monday morning we all participated in the ground
breaking ceremony for the new girls hostel. I’m glad I was able to be here for
the start of it but I’m a little sad that I won’t be here to see it
finished. The ground breaking ceremony
was short and sweet, which was good because it was an extra hot day. I still
managed to get a sun burn though. I was out there for a whole 10-15 minutes so
I probably should have expected it right? Oh my light light skin. I love hate
it. I have most my life and I figure it will probably continue that way until
the end of my days.
Dr. Susan had invited President Eddison and his family to be
our special guests for the ground breaking ceremony. They brought their two
sons. After the formalities I had gone back to the elephant house when I got a
phone call telling me I was suppose to come back because President Eddison
wanted to talk to me. My first initial thought was “Oh crap, he is going to
give me a calling.” I know I probably shouldn't say that, and to be honest I
wasn’t worried about receiving a calling as much as I was the logistics of what
it would entail. A fair amount of church is in Tamil, it takes anywhere from
1.5-2.5 hours one way to get there every Sunday, sometimes I don’t have the
luxury of staying all three hours because of situations with volunteers,
grocery shopping, etc. I know that if I were to receive a calling then somehow
it would all work out--BUT—looks like I am off the hook because he tried to
talk to me about something but I didn’t understand what he was saying and kept
looking to Ms. Gracy for help but she said we need to talk to Dr. Susan and
then he just dropped it and we all just kept hanging out so whatever. I guess
if it is important that it will resurface again.
