Back to School!

Today was the first day of school for four of the Kennison kids; Elizabeth, Daniel, Rebekah and Tabitha. The school year was supposed to begin last week but due to the earthquake on February 27th, the start date was pushed back a little. Some of the areas most heavily affected are planning on starting in April.
All of the kids were excited to go this morning, but probably the most excited was Rebekah. She was all smiles when she tried on the uniform last night and was even happier when she put it on this morning. Today was her first day of kindergarten. Elizabeth is starting the 4th grade. Daniel is starting the 2nd grade. Tabitha is "hanging out" with Rebekah in her class. We will see how this goes the first couple of days and decide from there if she will continue or not. Grace is at home for now as there is no particular place for her to go. As mentioned before,even though she doesn't go to school (we are her teachers) she has advanced in many ways and we hopefully anticipate what she'll learn and do next.
Please pray along with us for the kids' adaption to school and that they would be lights shining for Christ. Ruth as well is back to school, working several days as a music teacher. We also hope that through her contact with the students, faculty, and parents that the Lord would be glorified.
