Many readers of this blog know Jessica from San Diego. Well, Jessica is settling in just fine here at RVA. She's been here two weeks and has sat through two months of meetings (seemingly), and she's figured out what "extra" responsbilities she'll have besides being a dorm mom to 20 ninth and tenth grade girls. And today is the day. Arrival day. And if you can imagine what feelings she's going through as she meets this huge group of girls (half of them new to the school themselves!) whom she'll be living and loving and battling and enjoying and growing with this year...Intense. Pray for her.
And I know that many of you who read this have prayed. You see, back in March, I posted the dozen-plus needs our school had for the start of this school year. Well, you prayed and Jessica prayed and well, God told Jessica to come. And now she here she is, along with about a dozen other new family units to serve at RVA for this school year. We'll be stretched thin for the fall term but should be at 100% by January. Thanks for your prayers. God sure is faithful, isn't he?
One funny story from Jessica. She hasn't gotten her Kenyan cell phone working yet, so she's still using her old San Diego one for the time being. One night, around 2 am, she gets a call on her phone. Startled by a call at this hour, worried that it might be some kind of family emergency but hoping it's not just someone who couldn't translate the time difference between our countries, she answered. On the other end?
Domino's Pizza doing a little quality assurance. Wondering if Jessica was happy with the service provided her recently.
Trust me. We are not happy with Domino's service to Africa. But if they'd be happy enough to set up a chain in Kijabe, Jessica, her twenty dorm girls, and especially myself would be very, very pleased.
