Happy Birthday Janice!

We had a busy and productive week!  We finished our literacy class and immediately started two make-up classes for students who wished a chance to catch up.  We are now teaching Foundations of Education and Classroom Management every day for the next three weeks.  It is keeping us hopping to keep up.

We just had our second successful ITEP teacher finish all of the requirements and should have her application off in the next couple of days.

On a sad note, 22 people have died of the measles, all but one small children.  Less than 40% of the population had been vaccinated but teams from Australia and New Zealand have inoculated over 60,000 people this past week.  All schools have Ben closed and anyone under the age of 19 cannot use public transportation, banks, or congregate. The temple has been closed for two weeks and church has been cancelled also.  The senior missionaries did meet this Sunday in the mission home for a short sacrament and testimony meeting.  It was significant to appreciate what we did not realize something we would miss so much!
