What a Celebration!

It's late Friday, and I'm borrowing someone's internet access.

I thank the Lord for a good trip here yesterday and a great time last evening with Lisa, Sue and Jeff. Early this morning, Karin walked in and surprised me. (Everyone else knew she had arranged her life to be able to come.) So we all enjoyed the graduation ceremony this morning. We're so proud of Lisa. She did very well in her studies, and was one of only 5 Caucasians in the class. The speakers were impressive and challenged the 110 new social workers to make a difference for the people who are the most needy. I know Lisa would appreciate your prayers as she seeks a position where she can gain her 2 years of supervised clinical experience in order to be certified as a Social Worker/counselor.

This afternoon we toured the Capitol. Tomorrow we'll all help with an open house for Lisa's colleagues, fellow students, neighbors and friends.

I was pretty tired when we returned from the Capitol tour, but feel refreshed now. I am so thankful to have enough energy for this wonderful weekend.

I'm not sure whether I'll be able to connect again before Monday evening. I appreciate you all so much.

Love,
Carol
