Happy Woman's Day

Today is international woman's day, and in Kyrgyzstan, this is a very big deal .  The guys on the farm wanted to bless their cooking instructor and the psychologist, two women that have become very special to them .  The cool thing is that the boys did not know that I was making arrangements to bless them on behalf of the farm, so they , on their own bought them some gifts and had a little party for them this week. This is a big step for the boys to be able to think of others like this and to make plans. 


Today we had the back windows installed in the bus.  The bus was a great deal , but was a six passenger cargo van.  The guys have been busy adding in another removable row of seats , fixing the air-conditioning , putting in windows , even put in a back up camera and radio.  This saved us several thousand dollars off the purchase of one fully loaded.  It has also been interesting for the boys to learn how to do this type of mechanical work. 


While in the city to get the windows, they were able to get a really good deal on a microwave for the school that I had shared about.  It was only $50, so if that does not come in, we will be able to cover it from general fund. 



This Sunday I will be sharing at Community church in Stirling  The service starts at 10:30, but I will be there plenty early to do a bit of a meet and greet as people arrive .  If you are in the area, I would love to see you.
