In order to get to school at the Misiones campus on time, Andrew has to get up early. Each morning, Andrew gets himself up at 5:45 a.m....jumps into his uniform and gets his own breakfast. One of us gets us shortly after to make his lunch and make sure all is well before he walks out the door at 6:10 a.m. From the house, Andrew walks some four or five blocks up to the main road behind our community to catch the city bus. He takes the city bus to the main Laurens campus (where Jeanne teaches and Jesse attends classes.) Once there, a school van leaves that campus at 7:00 a.m. sharp...in order to have those student and teacher-riders to the Misiones campus on-time for 8:00 a.m. classes. Can you imagine?? Andrew has been doing this for a year-and-a-half!! And, of course, getting home takes all this time as well...but he usually has Jeanne or Jesse to ride home with from the main campus as they finish up classes about 20 minutes before his van get back over....
So, he's a determined young fellow...and a very good student. In photos below, you get to see how Andrew is doing with his schooling...in spite of the somewhat difficult time he has getting to and from school!
As much as we are here to share the love and knowledge of God with others, it is a double joy to see our children growing and flourishing for their experiences in this culture and world. Please continue to pray for them as they face challenges and changes.
