Things have been fairly quite without to much going on here. We did partner with a friend of ours and co-missionary to start a basketball ministry for the younger boys of the community. All the boys aged 8-16 have been invited to come play basketball twice a month. We have a few of our local young men that come to coach the boys and help out with the games. Evertime they come the coaches talk about a different aspect of the game and do what they can to tie that in with their faith. Once a month or so they also get a snack after the game. We have been rained out a few times so have only played a handful of times so far but are praying that we can establish some consistent teams and start to develop relationship with the boys that come all the time and mentor them not just in basketball but also in life and faith. March comes with the closing of a school year for us and the kids. They do not have closing ceremonies till the first week of April but this month is just tieing up loose ends and practicing for closing. March also brought with it a broken leg for me. I went out one Saturday morning with the kids to jog and play and slipped on a slippery spot on the cement. I thought at first it was just a bad sprain and that it would be fine in a couple of days. It was not any better by Monday and still exetremely painful and swollen. decided I should have it x-rayed. Found out that I broke the small bone in my lower leg in two places. That is what got me this lovely purple cast for six weeks. I will hopefully have it removed the 9th of April. It has not been fun or easy. It is very diffucult to get around here with crutches because the ground is so uneven and rough. The kids and Jonah have stepped up and done what they can to help out. I know I have an incredible husband always but he really proves it when something like this happens. He has become the cheif cook, housekeeper and child care provider. We do have a busy summer planned. We start with a youth camp the 15-17th of April. There will be youth from the whole northeastern part of our Island. Please pray for the youth that are coming and for the leaders that are planning this event. We are going to take a long weekend in May to celebrate with our girls and all their accomplishments this school year.
