As we welcomed the beginning of 2015, we had another transition here in our lives. David officially started his position of Facilities Manager here at Hospital Lumiere. With that came the end of daily language lessons for both of us (David because of a lot of work to do, and me because baby is coming soon!). We felt like the language lessons really helped a lot, and our teacher is hoping we will start up again sometime on at least a part-time basis. We really do have a long ways to go yet, but it's really nice to be able to have "small victories"....a telephone call in creole, understanding what someone's asking you when they come to the door, being able to understand more in church and when reading the Creole Bible....we're thankful for the time we had with the lessons!
The past week has had its stresses....David is trying to get familiar with his new role, and trying to do a good job :) There have already been problems (as I'm writing, the electricity is going off and on....stuff like that), but I guess that's life and we learn, right? We ask for your prayers as he is learning his new job, that he can do the work while showing the love of Christ in all he does!
We planned some dates for construction, electrical, and plumbing teams for 2015....maybe one of those weeks would work for you to come help the hospital and visit us! :)
