Answer to Prayer

Happy New Year!!

I just wanted to write and let everyone know that my work permit was finally approved!!! It is so cool to see God answer prayer! I was never really worried about getting it, but i was just wondering when. But God's timing is always perfect and for that I am so grateful. I will travel to Lusaka on Monday to pick it up!! Thank you to all of you who have been praying for this!!

The library is finally getting started. I am so thankful for Phil Hunts mom who is here visiting but has volunteered her time to catalog all the books for me. It is a huge answer to prayer for me because she is not only going to help me catalog them but she is also going to show me how to assign the Dewey decimal number. It was something that was completely overwhelming to me and i wasn't sure even how to start. But she came and has worked in a library before and has been so gracious to help me!! Just a couple weeks ago we started cataloging the books and as of yesterday started putting them into our software program. Its such a relief to me. We still have a very long way to go, there are over 5,000 books and we only have around 1,000 cataloged so far. But it is a start!!

Our semester is starting a month from now on February 12th. We will start with a block class for that first week and then the following week regular classes will start. Yesterday I worked with the vice president and we were able to send out a lot of acceptance letters. We are thrilled to have more students coming from Kenya! Please pray for them as they have to get their student visas and raise the needed money to attend the school. I am still working on getting all the records and systems set up. At times i feel very overwhelmed by it, but God is faithful and grants me wisdom for which i am so grateful!!

Thank you so much for all your prayers!!
