It's been over a month and many miles since our last post. Beth and Dakotah spent 3 weeks in Nampa, Idaho getting training and orientation with Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF). I stayed in Lesotho a few weeks longer, shivering. (It was winter.) As I was boarding the plane in Maseru on my trip to the U.S., the cold rain turned to hail! Brrrr. However, on our return, we were welcomed by spring weather and irises growing in the front yard. This is our first spring in Lesotho.
Just days before leaving for the U.S., our water turned back on! We had gone at least two months with no city water, living off our reserve tank. Although that provides us with water for flushing, washing our hands, and light cleaning, we don't get enough pressure for warm showers or laundry. We have to remember not to complain as many people in Lesotho live like this--or with much less--every day. Anyway, it was exciting to have water again. |

However, when we returned to our house after a month away, we found that the water had been turned off just a few days prior. We are still waiting for it to come back on, but thankful the weather is warmer.
We have been back for about 10 days now and completed a week of school. We have 3 new students this year: a first grader, 6th grader, and 8th grader. The middle school students are taking classes online, which is new and working out well. The students seem very excited about being back in school, which makes it fun to teach.
