Each new day brings one more "last time" experience here at RGBI. The days are winding down. Students and families are packing up their apartments and giving stuff away to those who are staying another semester.
Meanwhile.....all the kids are still having fun playing with all their friends. Many of them don't even realize that this might be the last time that they will be with this same group of friends for the rest of their lives. Our children have been blessed by the many friendships that they have made since Jan. here at RGBI. Friendships with missionary kids, friendships with faculty and staff kids, and friendships with Bible Institute kids.
Several days ago, I just happened to look out of our window across to the cancha (tennis courts) where I saw the majority of the children playing. I grabbed my camera, 'cause I wanted to have a picture with all the kids (or at least as many as I could) in one shot. I knew that many years from now, these pictures would be great reminders to our children of their time here at language school.

The "Funny Face" Shot

Pray for our children (and the other MK's) who will need to make yet another change in their lives when they move to the mission field.
