I was honored to be considered even if only for 36 hours but all the rush rush rush was making me really anxious. Thinking about the responsibility too was making me anxious. I DO NOT like feeling anxious about anything. It felt like I was sitting in the front seat of a bus here. So today we are back to the original plan. I will stay at the Nursing school until the class I came with graduates in May of 2014 and Tom will switch sites to the West Nile Ecumenical Vocational Training School in October when our 1st 2 years of service are over. The school reduces tuition and trains kids that quite school because their parents couldn't afford the fees required for the secondary education, or, there parents died, or there were just too many kids to give all an education, or, what ever the reason (don't they all sound like awful reasons) they can apply and learn a trade.
The school is funded jointly by the Catholics and Anglicans and jointly they have oversight. Aart and his wife Geesja from Church Mission Society (CMS) Ireland have been helping train students. The school built the water tanks here on the nursing school campus and they have the press to make more so Tom will be helping start a water tank business. He and Aart get on very well, so we will wait to see who God brings to our door for a meal right here in Arua. That's the update. Were back to our low key life again and we are both Happy about it. TIA.... Marcy
